How many teeth on existing sprocket?

There is a point of diminishing returns where further sacrificing acceleration for taller gearing doesn't result in a higher achievable top speed.
The large Kaw fours (Z1~KZ1000) with stock gearing are generally able to pull about the same top speed in fourth (fudging the red line) as they do in fifth. But am uncertain whether this applies equally as well to the GPZ1100.

Moral of the story, it takes high HP to reach those high speeds. That drastic of a reduction reduces the power you have at the wheel and I bet it will actually cost you top speed.
Go green, buy a Kawasaki!
