Improving Aprilia Pegaso top end

I am wondering if it is possible to improve my 1998 Pegaso' top end speed. not to go faster but just to keep the revs lower at cruising speeds. Mainly to reduce long-distance fuel costs. I used to change motocross bikes rear sprockets to achieve results, but is it possible on a Peg and if so where does one find a smaller sprocket?

Any help would be appreciated!
