I have not hit the limiter in top gear, but have got to 12krpm in top gear. Speedo was reading 175kph, but we all know how true that is... I guesstimate it to be about 157.5kph based on 10% speedo inaccuracy. But my bike is not stock, so I do not know how a stock bike will do.

There is like no power for accelleration in high gears at even 5krpm, so I really advise against running it that low, you could bog the engine down and this is not healthy for it as it puts far too much strain on it. They are made to run fast, that is just what they do. Basically, Alex is right if you want to run at 3-5krpm without issue!
