How do you find the above hits your top end?

top end gets there a looot faster and actually tops out, unlike using the 16t front which you can never top out. on a private runway it will top out at about 3/4 miles from 60 in 4th. top end is about 130 ish, thats with the throttle pinned to the stop.
overtaking is much much faster and overall the bike is a lot better to ride, you would think that you would be stirring the gears a lot more when in fact its less as your only going down one not two for corners at sensible speeds.
dont get me wrong i liked the 16t front as it was more lazy to ride and felt more grown up but i hated having to change down a gear right on corner entry or the bike would push you into the corner, no such complaints with the 47t rear sprocket.
the drawback.. ermm the back end likes to spin up in the wet when giving it handfulls.
