Reynolds Number

Hello fellow aero guros (sounds funny when it all rhymes)

I was wondering what you guys think would be a normal RE for sea level, 70*F temp, at 65mph, on earth.

Does RE=6063710 sound about correct for the above conditions with a 10ft chord?

I'm trying to use DesignFoil's wind tunnel simulation to try to figure out the best fairing for my Ninja 250. I understand that the ground plays an important role on the horizontal aerodynamics of a shape. However, since my ninja is more tall than wide, most of the air will be deflected to the sides and not over top (however, certainly its still significant).
