If you wanted to go to that extent (making transmission gears), and were really looking for high mileage numbers, you would be better starting with a much smaller engine.

Modifying an 1100cc engine to any extent to increase mileage potential isn't practical or efficient.

If mileage numbers are the goal, sell the GS and get a 250 Ninja or CBR - then mod from there.

This is really more about getting the best mileage out of whatever you drive. Certainly a 250cc bike will get better mileage, but the 1100 is what he has.
