RPM at Highway speed

Hi Guys
Recently got my CBX on the road, I have a Acewell tacho/speedo combination gauge. On the 1st ride I was watching the tacho and speedo, engine RPM at approx. 100kph or 60mph was about 4500RPM I thought this seemed a bit high for this big engine, sprockets are 8/42 which is std, I know my speedo is not setup accurately yet, so was just going off seat of the pants feel for the speed. Can someone give me an RPM at a certain speed for comparison?

Thanks, Steve

You are about right. Don't worry about the revs - these things were built to run at 7500 rpm all day, like most Hondas.
