So it's 6000rpm at ~90km/h.
It's quite similar (a little bit taller) to our Ciliegia's gearing (she has a 250cc V-twin), it's 6300rpm at 90km/h.

I'm quite sure they could handle a bit of re-gearing (we'll really try some day!), but 60mph at 3500-4000 would most probably be a stretch (except for some serious aero work, I think - then it should be no problem

).

Teresa is a 650cc thumper and can deal with that kind of gearing, and is very happy with 4000rpm @ 100km/h (62mph), surely could hold that speed with lower rpms, but I don't think she could handle anything below ~3500rpm there.
