I think bikes now are designed heavily towards performance rather than anything else such as FE. I don't really blame the designers/builders; it seems that's what the "market" wants, at least in the U.S.
To remedy that on any given bike - - -
There was a thread re. someone considering or recommending regearing the bike by changing the chain sprockets. I'd think you could drop the rpm's considerably this way, without changing anything else. Might need a correction to the speedo/odo depending on where the sensor is.
