My last bike had torque and power increasing to 11,500 RPM, where
torque leveled off. Power increased to 13,000 RPM, where it hit
the rev limiter.
On the S2000, Torque & Power both increase past 5,252 RPM and
peak out somewhere from 7,000 to 9,000 RPM.

A government big enough to give you everything you want
is also big enough to take away everything you have.
