Hi Zeeb,
I think you meant to say decrease RPM. You surely don't want to lose power going through a gear train and most are pretty efficient. By the way you can gear up and down, so you could increase RPM and have less torque available.
Let's say I had a Neu with a gearbox and a Plettenburg without and they both had the same power output at 6500 rpm wouldn't they have the same torque? I think Dave is getting at some other effect but I'm not sure what.
