It is a bit like that, it is an overgeared bike.

A lot of riders put a 14T sprocket on the front, this slows the bike down a bit, allows it to wheelie off the throttle and does not slow the top speed down or increase the fuel consumption much. Makes it much more fun though.

Down side is that the speedo is another 7% out on top of the 10% it has already. A "SPEEDO HEALER" will sort it but thats another �60 ish.
