No, I haven't re-geared my FZ6, and I won't in the future. Right now I feel like I've got the perfect compromise of street/track bike, and I don't want to change it. I always figured that if the FZ6 was holding me back on the track then I'd just get a dedicated track bike.
My comments in the review were really just to show how the bikes felt comparatively. It was also from riding my FZ6 on the street. On the track I try to keep the revs at 12 grand or above (yeah, I beat the snot out of it).
I feel that keeping a "lesser" bike for track riding has made me a better rider. I was scraping pegs and hard parts at the track, and instead of getting rearsets I worked on my body positioning instead. The end result is that I can go just as fast, or faster, without scraping anything. I'll have to get much better before I start to resent my bike for "holding me back".
I understand what you mean about twins. It's funny, because when I rode the SV650 I felt that the powerband was bland and boring. For some reason I felt differently about the Ducati. I guess there really is no replacement for displacement.
