I also prefer my monster to be relatively over-geared.
I can't speak for the S2R1000, but my 750 is currently running 15/40 .. and I've bought a 39 rear to try next time.
Therefore I would guess that you would find Luddite's 15/41 a little under-geared.

My 750 engine is std apart from its exhaust, but its weight is down to 164kg or thereabouts and its wheels are carbon so they spin up fast.



edit .. note that my personal liking for an "overgeared" monster is a little unusual though .. perhaps even extreme.
Most folk wouldn't share my preference to quite such a level.
But hopefully the info will contribute to an overall impression of where best to choose your own gearing.
