I'd love to know where you're getting your number of 48,000rpm. I don't know of any engine that revs out that much.
I have used Speeds, Ninja's, and stock V Spec's. I am now using the Reedy. Using the same gearing, the Reedy is better out of the corners but does suffer a little on the top. Gear up a tooth on the clutch bell and it's a lot better. Still has that smooth bottom end power that doesn't seem to end but transitions nice to a high speed mill. Still doesn't have quite what a V Spec in stock form has, but it's darn close.
