What should the RPMs indicate when going 100km/h (or 60 m/h) in fifth gear, on a 1.6 sidekick. (no mods)

There's to many variables to give you a correct answer to your question to change anyone of the variables  can change the answer to the question. What gears are you running in the tranny, in the rear end, what size tires are you running.   You change each,  any one or all of these factors and you can get a differant answer.

A good case in point an number of years ago I drove for a company in Eastern Washington we had two trucks they were Identical in very respect the only difference was the Serial Number and that was by one number they came off the assembly line one behind the other and were delivered to the same company one would out run the other every time it was given.

We hit 5500 every time we take it up to 75mph.
We've run this way for hours at a time.

I've seen it hit 6500 no problems.

You might be talking about two diffrent engines also, the 16 valve and the eight valve are a little bit diffrent on the top ends and the bottom ends. I think my 16 valve shuts down at 6500 by the ecm.
