As for gears and what-not, I agree with Pyoungbl and 2LZ. Ride it for a little while before you decide to make any changes. You'll get a pretty good feel for what you'd like to do after getting familiar with the bike.
Now to answer your question, some folks changed the 14T front counter sprocket to a 13T gear. I, on the other hand, went with a 42T rear sprocket (from the 44T stock rear sprocket) as I wanted to reduce highway RPM and extend the gears a bit in town (able to get across an intersection without shifting into 3rd gear), but I live at sea level, so this works for me.
Congrats again! Looking forward to your impressions and next posts!

After 3 months of "internal debate" I went with the blue.
Probably the first BIG modification will be to change the rim color. I hate black wheels on anything other than BBQ grills and lawnmowers. If I can afford it, I'll go whole hog and replace the stock rims with aluminum ones.
