Oh jeez,
here we go again with the almighty "top speed question" Get ready for WWIII. I am going to stick my neck on the chopping block and say 34 mph with my Picco .26, 18/49 gearing and Road Rash tires (as read by a Venom speed meter). I found you will actually get a higher speed reading by running the 17T clutchbell. I just tweaked 36 mph (but I am no expert tuner)

that speed meter is off or your engine isnt tuned right. i had 19/49 gearing with my savage and it went about 45mph. i wheelied A LOT. had to get an integy wheelie bar. hehe. and how can you go faster with a lower pinion (clutch bell...) gear?? that makes no sense.
