The FJR 6th gear is only 10% shorter.  That translates to somewhere between 500-700rpm.  
Call it an OD "lite".  In comparison a Kawasaki C14 6th (OD) gear is more like 25%.

Do you know the cruising RPM of the Concours 14 at 80 MPH? I've tried to find it on the internet and can't determine the RPM?
