I would as well. I went down that path with my Ninja 250, from solid 60's stock, to a road trip on the highway that had me at 50 MPG FLAT.

Also, there's room for even greater improvement, so why settle for 75? I'm doing 81.5, and I've got a 385cc. I've yet to do any serious modifications, most I've done so far is over-weighting the CVT rollers for quicker shifting.
