coincidence or...?

I was curious when i was riding my bike the other day i noticed that when i am going 60 in 6th gear i am at 6k rpm and at 70 i am at 7k rpm and 80 8k rpm and so on. So i was wondering if this is just a coincidence or did kawi manufacture it that way or what.

Maybe. But if you don't have a speedohealer, your speeds could be off anywhere from 7% to 10% high. So you could actually be 54, 63, and 72mph.

Actually, I did notice after I installed my SpeedoHealer and Gear Indicator that, in 6th gear, I'm going 66mph at 6000rpm. OOOooooOOOooOOoooOOOOoohhhhhhh.
