The 600TT starts making power at about 8 and really gets going above 10, 
the red line is at 14k. If you want to keep it singing you have to work 
the gears, I'm sure all the 600 sports bikes are the same. It is a 
lovely little chassis though and it would be excellent if Triumph made a 
smaller triple to put into it, say a 750.
