The first results of numerical analysis of classical r-modes of {\it rapidly} rotating compressible stellar models are reported. The full set of linear perturbation equations of rotating stars in Newtonian gravity are numerically solved without the slow rotation approximation. A critical curve of gravitational wave emission induced instability which restricts the rotational frequencies of hot young neutron stars is obtained. Taking the standard cooling mechanisms of neutron stars into account, we also show the `evolutionary curves' along which neutron stars are supposed to evolve as cooling and spinning-down proceed. Rotational frequencies of $1.4M_{\odot}$ stars suffering from this instability decrease to around 100Hz when the standard cooling mechanism of neutron stars is employed. This result confirms the results of other authors who adopted the slow rotation approximation.
