Ya know GB, at first after reading this part of your post I said to myself, "Nah! That can't be right? The T-Bird has DOHCs, and so it HAS to rev higher than a Big Twin!!!"
But THEN I scrolled back to to the supposed T-Bird specs shown above and read the following...
"Maximum Power EC1 86.0PS / 84.8bhp / 63.2kW @ 4850rpm"
...that's RIGHT...at "4850rpm"!!!
And then I said to myself EITHER that's a misprint, OR there's somethin' kind'a weird goin' on here!!! How can THAT be?! That sure seems to be a rather short powerband for a DOHC engine!!!
That could be about right for maximum horsepower on a 1600cc bike. It's probably idling at around 1K RPM. If the torque number is close to correct and has a flat enough torque curve it should have plenty of pull between 2K - 4.5K RPM.
