That is correct. The engine will turn lower rpm at any given road speed, in any gear, than it did before. But that does not give the engine more power to push the motorcycle through the air any faster. As the S40 is presently geared the engine cannot reach top rpm (redline) in either fourth or fifth gear, because it doesn't have the power. If it cannot reach redline in the existing gears it won't in a higher gear, either. So it is extremely unlikely you will get a higher top speed. If you really want higher speed, you need to be looking either at engine modifications or a different bike.
