We checked the top speed of our CR250s a year or two ago with a GPS.
2002 CR250: 13/48 sprockets - 76.6 mph.
2003 CR250: 13/50 sprockets - 74.3 mph.
I haven't checked the top speed of our KDX200 (yet) but seat of the pants says it's not even close to the speed the CR250s run. As far as I'm concerned that's not a bad thing. I never want / need to go as fast as the CR250s will go anyway.
2000 KDX200 / 2002 CR250 / 2003 CR250 / 2008 TT-R230 / 2011 Brute Force 750 / 2012 Brute Force 750 EPS

A 108 is stock. I had to jump to a 110 for a 50 tooth rear. I THINK a 108 will work for a 49... not exactly sure. But if you buy a new chain, you can buy the 110 if you have a chain breaker and make it 108.
