Whats the top speed in first gear for a stock 929? Someone asked me but I don't know bc of my aftermarket sprocket.

Esportbike.com claims the following -
"The slick-shifting gearbox either has too many ratios or the top three are there for vibration control. First gear is good for an indicated 80 mph before the "soft" rev limiter begins kicking in at 12 grand; the second cog takes the CBR up to 110 mph; it tops out in third gear at 130 clicks".

I thought there was something wrong with mine, I was only getting to about 120kmph before redline. At least my bike is normal.
