Im off to the Isle of Man end of may and was wandering if I put a 15t sprocket on the front it would affect motorway touring RPMs too much????

Tim,
Use the chart I sent you to see what it will do to your cruising RPM and top end speed loss.

If you visit www.gearingcommander.com you can see exactly what sort of difference the change would make. Standard gearing for your bmodel is 17/42 which would give a theoretical speed of 176.6mph @ 9750 rpm. A change to 15/42 would bring this down to 155.8 mph at the ame rpm which I think is far more practical.
At motorway cruising speeds the change would knock about 10 mph off your speed.
Hope this helps!

Areessmille, a 15 tooth will be fine. It makes the bike much more responsive. You'll never want to change to anything else

I have a black RSV not a blue one :doug:doug
LOL, we know yours is black that's why fitting a 15T front sprocket won't affect your top speed.
You managed to get it in to third gear yet Tim? LOL
