I ride a 2006 Ninja 650r. Had it geared for racing, but I changed it back to OEM sprockets because I could never find anyone else on a sport bike around my town so there was no point to lessen my gas mileage. It's fine, can still do 135 on a straight away.

Geared for racing? You mean you had less teeth on the sprockets for faster acceleration? Also if you went for bigger gears you have have more top end and would have a higher top speed. And smaller gearing don't effect MPG that much at all unless your riding it at a higher RPM for some reason. If anything you would get to the average speed quicker and speed less time moving around the RPM range (saving more gas). The 650 is a nice bike I just dislike twins for a "sports bike" and the 650 is more so a casual sport bike hybrid. And the fact that most twins sound like a lawn mower.
Anyway I ride a sport bike legend the CBR 900RR firebird.
