A bigger frontsproclet (or smaller rear) doesnt automaticly give you more top speed. If the bike pulls stockgearing to redline, then yes, you might be able to go faster with a slightly higher gearing.
If the bike is too heavy geared, it will go a lot slower as it wont be able to pull 5th gear decently.
My bike wont go as fast with 16-45 as it does with stock 15-45, I guess it depends
Stock gearing should give you around 100km/h indicated at 4000rpm in 5th gear, depending on tiresize and all. This goes for year 1990 and up. Some of the older bikes had other gearing from the factory.
Sorry for off topic
