By driving on the road without using bracks you also develope race craft, the accurate judgement of speed relative to the conditions at hand.

I have considered the sprocket change, but I really do like the acceleration that is available with the current gearing, with the exception of 6th gear. Why don't car manufacturers just make a very tall "cruising" gear anyhow?
As for my street habits, I do not use brakes unless I am stopping. Rarely do I encounter a corner that I need to slow down for, as a posted 25mph corner can be executed at 55mph+.
Track practice improved my riding ability and confidence more than anything else.
