Increase Gearing for Touring and Motorway Use

[Jbizzle]

Hi all,

Is it possible to increase the speed vs revs ratio of the gears for more comfortable use on the motorway?

I am going to be doing some touring over the summer, currently when at motorway speeds 70/80 mph equals about 6000/7000 revs.

I have always found the current gear ratios mean I need to change up through the gears really quickly when riding in town, especially getting out first. Basically I want to know if it is possible/economically viable to switch the gears out of my FZS 600 (2003).

Thanks!
