Ok just to confuse things, I'm running a 15 front, 43 rear sprocket and a 18inch rear wheel!
I find that the bike loves to sit on 95kph and gets 65mpg (4.3lt per 100K's). Anything above this is a chore and i find the noise and buzz annoying.
I weight 110Kg's (192cm heigh) and with my gear on board the total weight is around 290Kg's (143Kg for bike, 110kg me, 40Kg gear) fully packed for a long trip. This gearing is great for dirts roads and back tracks, where i can sit on 80/85kph all day and still get 65mpg
