took my 250 from a 47 tooth rear to a 37, no prob once you are used to it. The problem seems to be mostly one of perception.
took my cb125 from a 15 front to a 17 no prob, and have a 34 tooth rear en route(was 40). Here's some chicken scratch on gearing changes FYI (though I'm sure Old Mechanic has it all sorted out)

Perception of what? A lot would depend on where you live and ride (commute).
Driving a CB125 in traffic in some areas of the US would border on insanity, gearing it up 10 teeth would be lethal.
Performance is safety in some situations.
