And if you want to calibrate your ear, you can convert from speed to RPM. With my Super Hawk it is easy, as in 4th gear, it revs 1,000 RPM per 10 MPH. So, at 60 MPH the engine is turning 6,000 RPM. You may have to read an old road test to discover the relationship between speed and RPM for your Dream.
