How different are the gear ratios between the ´06 and ´15 FXDL

I had an ´06 Dyna Low Rider with a Stage I and it was a great running bike until I started having some electrical issues at 38,000 miles. I now have a ´15 Low Rider with the much bigger engine and also a well tuned Stage I. The bike has tons of torque, especially over 3000 R.P.M., but it doesn´t seem to be as much fun to ride. Maybe I need to get used to it and keep it revved higher, but I´m consistently getting 45-46 MPG and that´s almost 10 MPG better than I used to get. I´m not complaining by any means, it just seems the 103 moves the bike around so effortlessly and I feel like I could cruise around all day in 4th or 5th gear. I don´t even think about going into 6th until I´m over 60 MPH....
