              I think a 50tooth rear would suit me for some of the terrain I ride at times
 & the bike would be doing around 4500rpm @ 100kph...
 Have not been able to find a 50 tooth rear... So will go with 14/48 which is about the same as 15/51 would be...
 Also the Rekluse clutch likes the lower gearing , clutch lock up is quicker..

         4500 rpm at the speed of 100 km/h in 5th gear seems much more natural to me on this bike than 4000 rpm does....in theory at least - but I am just an simple amateur then.....
