Default Trike vs. Ultra Limited Gearing different

I notice the gearing for the trike is different then my Ultra Limited. I don't understand gearing so can someone tell me what the differences mean? Does the trike run higher RPMs for the same speed?

Trikes are heavier and need a little more gear. Yes,they will turn a few more rpm on the highway. IIRC,the 09-later Touring bikes have 32T front and 68T rear pulleys. 2009-2010 TriGlides are the same. 2011-later TriGlides have a 30T front and 70T rear pulley.

The rear has been 70 tooth from the beginning, the only change they made was to change the transmission sprocket from a 32 tooth to a 30 tooth.
