For around town riding ... a lower geared VT is ideal and was a common change. They get off from the lights surprisingly fast.
For out of town riding ... upgrade the suspension and tires. You wont increase speed ... but you wont need to go as slow as often and will be safer too.
A new rear cog with about 4 or 5 less teeth would help increase speed (a bit) ...
When life throws you a curve ... Lean into it ...
