To: dccycles <dc-cycles@XXXXXX>

This has been a major topic on the R6 boards that I'm
on but not one that anyone has taken advantage.
Afterall, if you're buying the bike for that reason
alone then you really only want the motor.  most of
that high RPM is probably over rev.    There's more to
a bike than a 17.5 RPM red line. Maybe to a racer it's
important but even those on the R6 boards have said
that wasn't a major reason for buying the bike.  just
my thoughts on the redline.  I love the bike design
overall though.

Ian
