Just like on your push bike;
Larger at the back = quicker acceleration off the mark, but limited top speed.

ok ok hold up a minute here lads i sugested 14/46 for a joke, only a crazy fool would run that gearing on the road, actually i think i remember gareth running something silly like this. Ive tried 14/44 on the RVF and it was a major handfull.
+2 on the rear is a nice combination for the road if you find standard gearing abit sluggish, i say stick with standard and learn to corner faster
