Sooo, a while ago I swapped the rear wheel from the written off thundercat to the fazer as the tyre had more life in it.
Didn't bother swapping sprockets as I thought they were the same, they're not, the Thundercat has 47 teeth.
Now I realise -1 on the rear is little difference compared to changing the front sprocket, but in relation to your queery- it's had little effect on acceleration (if, if I wanted to it'll still wheelie happily enough) and to me it feels comfortable on the motorway at 80ish!
For the power of the bike I think you'll have little problems with acceleration changing the front sprocket by one!
