I exaggerated a little bit but top speed is around 140 km/h. I got 143 km/h top with the new 5th gear as only mod, 158 km/h is the official top (not sure though I could have reached it, the engine being not really new anymore). So with the bigger tires but several aeromods I must be around that.

The overall gearing is 20% bigger and aero improvement is probably not higher than 7% (roughly guesstimated).

I'm fine with 140 km/h top speed. That enables me to do 130 if I want with a margin for headwind or light inclines.

But hey, I'm doing 160 km/h in 4th.
