just thought I'd post the gear speeds to see what people think:
All gear changes done at or just before 5500 rpm
1st: 55
2nd: 95
3rd: 115
4th: 140
5th: 160 (4000 rpm - had to slow down due to traffic)
I don't think they'll get too much higher than that - maybe 180 tops...
Got a 2003 conquest myself, and those speeds sound about right. Had second up to 90 today and noticed that was around 5,000 rpm. Makes it pretty easy to do 0-100 with one (or no) gear changes if i'm feeling lazy.
On a clear straight road the Ascent I hired up in the northern territory reached over 200kph, that was around 6-6,200rpm from memory so there was still a little way to go before redline
