Depends on your gearing ratios/wheel sizes etc.

According to what I've read, 1,000 rpm = 15.5mph

so multiply the mph by 64.5

i.e

10mph = 645rpm
20mph = 1290rpm
30mph = 1935rpm
40mph = 2580rpm
50mph = 3225rpm
60mph = 3870rpm
70mph = 4510rpm
80mph = 5160rpm
90mph = 5850rpm
100mph = 6450rpm

edit - erm.. I think that may be for a KZ900 :)
