That doesn't sound too far off.  GS750s were about 70 at 4800 to 5000 depending on tyre (120/90 18 or 4.25/85 18.  I seem to remember 1000s were about 17mph/1000 rpm. I'm going back 35 years now so can't be that precise.

 

Yep, seems about what I'm getting.

That's great, thanks! Very useful page.

It shows that with the sprockets I've got (16:42) and the bigger circumference of the 18" slabby wheel, my gearing is actually a fair bit higher than stock....not what it feels like. I've only got the 1085 kit in now, and although there's a bit less weight, I'm surprised how quick the bike feels. probably plodding about on my R65 makes anything feel quick! :D
