Highway Gearing
I'm looking to re-gear my Trophy (1992 1200) to give me lower revs on the highway. I haven't checked the front sprocket..... i think the rear one is 45 teeth. At the moment, it sits on about 4,500 rpm at 110kph. With the amount of torque and power it has, it could travel very comfortably all day at less than 4,000rpm, and save a little fuel as well. I travel 100 kilometres each day for work on the highway. I'm curious as to what revs others are doing at highway speeds. I'm considering going one tooth bigger on the front, which "should" give me about 500rpm less on the tacho. I have only had the bike for a week....... and i love the way it pulls like a teenager with a Playboy Mag!! so i'm sure it could handle one or even 2 teeth bigger on the front.
