What a difference, more accelaration, more torque, more noise and the bike just wants to rev and rev.

Well recommended.

Out of interest, what has this gearing change done to the bikes top end?

DC.

I suspect it has reduced it and the info i read suggests by about 8mph.

But I don't use the top end so for me thats ok. Not sure of a track in the UK where you can reach much over 130mph, so the top end will still be useable, you just get there quicker.
