On my 1982 CB750F I changed from a 46 rear to a 40. At 100kph I went from 5000rpm down to 4200. First gear is now like second, fourth is now like fifth. Still plenty of power to start off uphill, but have to slip the clutch a bit in slow traffic.

Make sure you both have the same number of teeth on the front sprocket before ordering that new rear, so you don't get any surprises! :) Overall ratio will be different if you two have different front gears for some odd reason.
