Funny thread . . .
The math says a stock FZ with Stock gears won't redline and certainly won't do a 170mph . .
2nd Gear @ 14,000 RPM:
14,000 * 3.1415 * 24.8
---------------------------------- =
94.3MPH
1056 * 1.9555 * 2.8751 * (G2) 1.947
6th Gear @ 14,000 RPM:
14,000 * 3.1415 * 24.8
---------------------------------- =
169.6MPH
1056 * 1.9555 * 2.8751 * (G6) 1.083

Remember; Max HP is @ ~12,000 RPM. Max Tq @~10,000RPM so by 13k I'd imagine a stock bike has given all its gonna give untill you improve the aero. . .
Stock gearing gets us roughly 12,400RPM for ~150mph about 20mph short of the lies above.... :BLAA: nothing personal mind you, but we are not gonna redline this engine in 6th. Other elements like AIR DRAG do play a role. . .
!!!FORMULA!!!!!
RPM * PIE * Tire Diameter (inches)
--------------------------------------------------- =
Speed in MPH
1056 * PR * SR * GS
RPM
Primary Reduction Ratio (PR)
Secondary Ratio Front/Rear Sprocket count (SR)
Gear Selection (from manufacture) (GS)
Tire Diameter (from formula) (TD)
1056 (static number in formula)
Yamaha FZ6
Primary Ratio: Engine to Trans (PR): 86/44 = 1.95454
Secondary Ratio: Sprockets (SR): 46/16 = 2.8751
TRANSMISSION RATIOS:
G1 = 37/13 = 2.846
G2 = 37/19 = 1.947
G3 = 28/18 = 1.556
G4 = 32/24 = 1.333
G5 = 25/21 = 1.190
G6 = 26/24 = 1.083

I've gone insane. . .
Pick a Ratio and this is what you get. . .
RPM: ____Frt Spr: RearSpr: Ratio = Speed
RPM 13000 - 16 - 46 - Ratio=2.88 = 158.01 (STOCK) 0% change
RPM 13000 - 16 - 47 - Ratio=2.94 = 154.65 = -2%
RPM 13000 - 16 - 48 - Ratio=3.00 = 151.01 = -4%
RPM 13000 - 15 - 46 - Ratio=3.07 = 147.73 = -6%
RPM 13000 - 15 - 47 - Ratio=3.13 = 144.58 = -8%
RPM 13000 - 15 - 48 - Ratio=3.20 = 141.57 = -10%
RPM 13000 - 14 - 46 - Ratio=3.29 = 137.88 = -12%
RPM 13000 - 14 - 47 - Ratio=3.36 = 134.94 = -14%
RPM 13000 - 14 - 48 - Ratio=3.43 = 132.13 = -16%
