That's always been my thought, it's not the sprockets that I would 
like to change but the gearbox itself. First gear could stand to be a 
lot lower, and then spread the range of the other gears until you end 
up where 6th is. I always find I have to look at the tach to find out 
if I've put it in 6th on the freeway. More often than not I find I'm 
still in 4th.
