Question about gearing for Top Speed

I dont know about that
I grew up on dirtbikes, and I remember several of them where the gearing outran the engine and when you shifted from 4th into 5th, you'd actually start to slow down

Now I understand we're talking something more powerful then a 2 smoker, but I would imagine the principle carries over
I guarantee it. I have driven 60-90hp/200 ft-lbs torque engines 130.
