How fast do you really want to go??
Your theoretical top speed stock is 189 based on your gearing.
You have PLENTY of top end speed to spare.
Try this gearing calculator thing. Pick your bike from the drop down menu, and hit "Load Preset", be sure to change the speed to mph.

And yeah, and you don't need the bike to be capable of warp nine...
