As Alex mentioned sprockets don't change power, this change wasn't done for more speed or less fuel. Honestly the way I ride maybe about 20% of the time I'll truly take advantage of the ninjas gas mileage.
Again as Alex said it's really all about changing the behavior of the bike, the taller gearing ratio helps me get the power I want at rpms that I feel are healthier for the engine. Rarely will I take the bike to redline anyway so not having the power to pull to redline in the taller gears isn't something that's going to bother me.
