Actually, no. But I wasn't accurate in my earlier post either!
Here is the formula:
(MPH * 5280 / 60 * 12) ----------------------- (Tire Diameter * 3.14) * Final Drive Ratio * Gear Ratio)
so...
140*5280 / 60*12 = 151008 ----------------------- (24.3*3.14)*4.06*.77 = 238.66
or 6,054 rpm

In retrospect, it was all downhill from here. RIP, CEG.
