The next item is to find a transmission. Since the torque curve on these is quite flat the steps between ratios can be greater than a sport bike. A range of 12 or 14 speeds might be nice with progressions of 15%. Much depends on vehicle weight and drag. Some folks design down from a motorcycle with a steel frame. I would be looking at designing up from an aluminum bike making the components only as heavy as needed. Around here 85 mph is all the speed we can use.
