The descriptions in the table are just wrong... the same issue as with the KZ900 version of the chart. For someone not knowing better, if they make decisions based on this chart, they will be sorely disappointed with the results.
15/37 - you wouldn't run this for touring - ever... You would be zinging the motor cruising at 70mph. 15/33 or 15/32 would be a typical setup for touring - even 16/33 provided you're not too overloaded.
15/40 - hmm... OK for highway use... really... I guess providing it's a 40mph speed zone... I would never want to be cruising at 70mph and having the motor running smack bang in the middle of the vibration band. It's also too radical for serious street use - you'd be on the back wheel everytime you pull away in first. Other than at the drag strip, it's a poor choice for most people (unless you want to be pulling wheelies all the time
)...
15/42 - maximum acceleration - well... only if you have wheelie bars and an air shifter... with that kind of gearing, you would struggle to launch down the 1/4 mile - your front wheel would climb skyward, and you'd never have time to get your feet up and shift into second gear. I've tried a ton of different ratios when I drag raced, and would NEVER consider this gearing option. It sure looks like someone at Action Fours needed to pad out the chart to fill the page.
