13T sprocket & Top Speed

13T sprocket & Top Speed
Did some searching but couldn't really find the answer I was looking for.
I have a stock 06 bike with only mod being PO removed the snorkel from air box.
Just wondering if I change to the 13T front sprocket, if I will loose much top end, I know it will effectively raise my gear ratio and give it more torque, but that being said, I know it will lower my top end, just wondering how much as I do some stretches where I need to do 100-110kms/hr
Thanks in advance.

The 13 tooth will actually mallow you to go faster and get better MPG. The 06/07 has a tall sixth gear, and has trouble pulling it at higher revs with the stock 16 tooth front sprocket. My bike has a few mods and I can hit 150 kmh with 14/42 (stock) and 130 kmh with 13/45 gearing (GPS)

Reading this post got me thinking about my SF, anyone know what sprocket set-up comes on the SF model? my bike sucks on windy days, sometimes all I can ring out is about 60mph. I can drop to 5th and pull 10,000rpm but I don't want to run it that high for too long.
