Scott, you are right. But on the other hand this engine has so much torque -
it makes it also lot of fun riding in the lower rpm regions! If I remember
it correctly there are about 80% of the max. torque available @ 4000 rpm
already. And I think that is one of the reasons why everyone loves this
engine.
