Well, like horsepower and weight numbers that the manufacturers boast 
about, it also happens that you you need to be very skeptical of their 
rev limits. Recent dyno tests of most of the sport bikes that I've read 
have all had tachs that overstate the rpms. I guess they'll do anything 
thing to make you think your going faster or that you have the closest 
thing to a real race bike.
