Out today and decided I would find out the top speed in 1st gear and after that I decided to do 2nd and 3rd also. First topped out at 50mph which I thought was pretty good for a cruiser (tall 1st for a cruiser). Second was 75 hit the rev limiter at 6,500. Third was 97. Not bad as it pulls well in all these gears. I have a Yamaha stratoliner also and although I feel the engine is every bit a strong as the storm it has short or more typical I think initial gears. Did hit 65mph on my fjr 1300 in first and that is the fastest I have had any bike in 1st gear. Not that it matters but was fun to check out.
