120 kph works out to 75 mph. My Nighthawk 750 is turning 5,000 rpm in 5th gear at that speed. My CB11 turns 4,200 rpm in 5th gear.
Personally, I think 5K rpm on the Nighthawk is the sweet spot in the power band. If you really want to lower the rpm a 16 tooth front sprocket will take it down to about 4,600 rpm at 75mph.
I kept my Nighthawk when I got the CB11. After 17 yrs., I couldn't bear to part with it. My riding is pretty evenly split between the Nighthawk and the CB11.
