Type-RAs started out with extremely manic gearing, but this was raised over the Classic's lifespan. Type-R retained its shorter gearing, with the odd model having a sensible 5th gear...
My type r does 3000 rpm @ 60 mph 4000 rpm @ 70 mph an so on untill 7000 rpm 140 mph, havent been past 7k in 5th, but im guessing 8000 rpm will be 160 mph as its the same all the way through 5th gear.
