You shouldn't let facts get in the way of an internet argument.

Spedo reading are generally affected by the outer diameter of your tires. RPMs aren't, but the delta between the two definitely will if one is.

It depends on the size of the tires, actually.

is it typical to be at 3k rpm @ 70mph, like urabus said hes at 75 mph

would tire size make that big of a difference?

Never owned a bugeye so I don't know what's typical. And, I was also wrong about that tire size thing. That shouldn't affect rpm vs. mph.
