Data from ride with 17t front sprocket.
OK. I rode about 90 miles today (mostly interstate). Conditions were not ideal (temps in the low 20s, major crosswind at times). I also had a topcase and 2 sidecases on the bike and all were loaded with groceries. I weigh about 170 (but I must have had 10lbs of gear on today!)
It looks like I could cruise at about 70mph and be at about 6200 rpm in 6th gear. At 80mph I was at about 7000rpm. These speeds are based on a GPS (so you likely need to add about 10-11% to stock speeds to compare).
With the 17t front the speedo is dead on with the GPS (as others have reported). I didn't check the odometer.
