Dan, I can tell you from personal experience with my Hawk that running the 39T rear sprocket will get you up to about 68 mph at about 6,200 RPM. I bounce off of 70 occasionally, but the bike is really too light for those kinds of speeds. I get some really wicked headshakers going on after about 62-65. Any small upset in the road surface causes huge oscillations back through the handlebars. I'm sure most of that will disappear once I burn through the stock knobbies and get some more street-oriented tires on, but for right now I treat the Hawk like my Ural: It will do 55 forever, 65 occasionally, and 75 once (Usually over a cliff....) Just my thoughts on what I know with my bike, your mileage may vary.
