Yep, depends where you ride and where you like your RPMs. I ran my 996 with 14/41-42 before swapping in a 748 tranny and primary gear (I'll probably wind up with something like 14/39 now) and I still never used 6th at local tracks - the stock gearing was ridiculously tall. But iff I rode at Willow Springs all the time, I'd need much taller gearing. For street riding, again, depends, but Shazaam's chart is a good start (I run 14/41 on my 748 instead of 14/40, but it doesn't make much difference).
