Ok i have a Question for Shazzam?

When i was in germany on the AutoBarn
and we all did some high speed runs


i noticed the maximum speed i could get in 5th gear would not increase when i hooked 6th gear

some times on a down hill section she would gain 4-8 mph more!

and it would not pull anymore revs in top gear!!

as i have spent most of my life on jap bikes !

i just assumed the bike had run out of HP (Horse power)

and therefore had not got the power to pull back into the sweetspot in 6th gear

so if i go for the 15/43 option will the bike give me more top speed because it can pull back up into the power /torque range in top gear?

or will it just BLOW UP!!!
