Can anyone tell me what rpm I should be reading at 60mph in top?

Cheers

CB500? 5000 rpm.

bobv7:
The reason I ask is because I bought an after market matching speedo and tacho. The speedo looks like it's reading pretty close as they usually work off front wheel diameter anyway but I'm not so sure about the rev counter, but since I'm not going be red lining the bike every where it's not so important. There is a marking on the rev counter dial reading 1:4 so maybe it was intended to fit a twin and actually showing half the true rpm?

My 550 is 4000 at 60mph.

CB550s vary, some have 17 and 37, some have 17 and 34 teeth.
