I've yet to see a motor redline at its peak HP.... I mean, they could, they could put the damn redline anywhere they want, but I suspect putting it too high is going to shorten your engine lifespan, considerably... You wouldnt want your bike to redline at peak HP anyway... to keep the engine in the "sweet" spot/powerband, you are inevitably going to have to go over and under the peak HP as you shift... Putting the redline at peak HP is going to cause you to drop too many RPMs when you shift, and therefore in a place with fewer HP...
