Russell thats not a torque problem thats a gearing problem. You've got the two confusedFuel economy doesnt matter too much to me i just wonder cause just how i am. And no i dont want a damn BKing i love my busa
The busa really doesnt like the 25mph speed limit on base
The busa has all the low end torque stock you'll ever need (and more than any other sportbike made), but its also geared to go 200mph at redline, which means its big cammy motor is going to be a little jerky plugging along at 25mph. Its just geared too tall for that.... thats not what it was designed to do. Gearing it down could help that a little, but depending how much you gear it down, could make it too vibey at highway speeds and kill you're gas mileage, and still not be enough for you. Mines geared -1/+2 and it still doesn't like to chug along at super slow speeds. Plus its borderline too low geared for the street now for my preferences.... too vibey, and a little too thirsty. But it goes like stink You need to weigh how often you go 25mph compared to how often you go normal speeds 
If you have to chug around all day at 25 on base, honestly I would either get a second smaller bike for that, or take the car

Thats a big step up in gearing. But if you're not an acceleration nut you might not mind 
I personally couldn't stand to take that much of a hit in performance, even if I did gain some mpg. I crave every bit of g-forces I can mod out of my bikes. Prolly why I turbo'd my 14
