You'll be fine with a 10 up. 10 up is great for third gear highway wheelies.

and any wheelie at 11,000rpm is going to kill your motor!

Re: How much is too much for the street?
should still be able to hit 150 with 10 up. I have a spreadsheet for the 03 1k that you can enter different sprockets and see the road speed vs. rpm in each gear. i can email you if you pm me your email if you want the spreadsheet. I also have sheets for 00 zx6r and most fzr 600s.
