I reckon.
Just to be a bit clearer, At 120 kph (75 mph) I'm turning a shade over 4,000 rpm. At 129 kph (80 mph) it would be a up a bit, but not much as I recall. However, that 120 is as shown on the speedo; the GPS says actual speed is nearer 113-114 kph (70 mph). So 80 mph real may be edging towards 4,500. In any event, there's no real discomfort from buzz. I simply get weary hanging on as the speed climbs above that.
And, as the maximum speed limit in Australia is 110 kph (68 mph) and more often 100 kph (62 mph) and penalties for speeding are strict in the extreme, it's in my interests not to get too excited about speeding!
