I thought the earlier models were geared down more compared to the later E models?
Anyway, I like the 15/45 on my 1990. It seems like it lacks some of the low down grunt of the previous model but it will cruise on the freeway no problem. The bike will happily putt along at 75-85mph in 5th gear, and 4th pulls hard from 50mph up to 85ish when it redlines.
The 90 and up (IIRC) has taller gearing in the transmission so it'll probably be different for your bike.
Edit: Nvm, the older models had higher gearing.
