Default Revs per MPH, seeking knowledge.
Just a quick question for those who may be in know. I have a 2011 Street Bob which obviously doesn't have a tach. I was wondering what revs would I be doing in 6th gear at 60, 70 and 80mph?
Appreciate if anyone could let me know.... Thanks

Default Gearing and RPM
My bike is an 06 Street Bob and the gearing is just a little bit lower than yours. At 70mph I'm turning about 2800-2900. You would probably be at 2500-2600.

Interesting, so probably 3 to 400 hundred revs between a 96 mota and a 103.

Doesn't have anything to do with the motor but the gears in the transmission. My bike is the first year for the 6 speed..they geared the years after that a little higher.
BTW I was guessing as to what your RPM would be so yours may well be the same as the Fat Bob posted.
