You guys are talking about streetable bike, right...so as I see it if you open up the 988 Trux link above the bike torqe climbs to about 5500 rpm then the bike is making "power"...by the time you hit 5500 rpm you may be at the next signal...I think you want a toque curve that starts making "power" lower...I think that is why my old Harley would beat my 600 cc 636 light to light but get it on the freeway and it would be bye bye Harley.
