Tell that to the touring forum, they all seem to agree, 'the lower, the better.'
On a SS, it's different, and it depends largely on how much stuff you are going to bring. If you have a light load, plan on eating out, staying in hotels and the like, you can probably make due with your current gearing. If you want to haul around camping gear, then you're going to be in for some compromises. You might have to settle for something in the high 50s or so, or maybe even lower depending on the route.
I suggest get a pack-list, then figure out how you're going to carry it, and plan your gearing from there.
