If your looking to accelerate faster, then the sprocket change will accomplish that. Go for it. It means your bike will be slower on the top end and the engine will be spinning faster then it already does at cruising speeds. I kind of like the stock set up myself. I also ride a BMW opposed twin, it revs at half of what the 6R does. So I'm used to an engine that isn't screaming all the time. I am always looking for ways to go around a corner faster, that is why I ride. Saturday a friend and I will be on hwy 49 doing the "Little Dragon". That is the kind of riding I live for. Thankfully I live in an area where twisty roads are available. I don't ride a touring bike because there is nothing more boring then a straight road. I might ride the BMW on Saturday due to the length of our ride. I find the seat on the 6R painful after about 175 miles. BTW, the BMW corners real good too. It also never does the Hula. It better not after all the money I have tied up in the suspension. :thumbup:
