Redline speeds iin each gear
my nissan maxima has a list in its manual that lists the maximum speed you can hit in each gear does anybody know a maximum speed list for the gears on an f3..
i redlined my bike the other night like a noob after i dropped 2 gears while i was merging onto the highway, it was only for a second or so kus as soon as i heard the choppy scream of my engine i immediatly upshifted... she rode fine about 25 miles the rest of the way home and i didntnt heard any noises or feel anything wierd going on
does anyone know how bad that might have been for my bike? like should i be worried or simply be more careful

A single, quick 1 sec peek over the redline? I doubt very seriously you did anything to the engine. Not unless something was already wrong.
These things are warnings, Honda giving you a chance to stop doing something before you do damage. Overheat lights, low oil indicator, redline. All alerts that you need to take corrective action. They are not the hard limit of the engine because if they were, it'd be pretty useless. Might as well never put them on and let the 'warning' be the engine going nuclear
Every manufacturer over-engineers their products. They just don't tell you how much. And even if they did, age and wear will reduce the amount of cushion you have

probably hit the rev limiter --- I'm very familiar with mine as if you get a shift a second late you hit it pretty hard. Sometimes in a pack of bikes you don't hear how close you're getting and then suddenly you get that feeling... anyhow - no harm no foul
Yeah, your bike is fine and you shouldn't be worried. I've hit the limiter on my bikes many times. The limiter is there to save it! 
Try riding a Harley.... I just laugh and shift when the bike cuts out...
