6-8000 rpm putting ?

My car redlines at 6krpm !

So if I tried to ride my bike at 3krpm it would just stall?

This must be why they aren't so good on fuel?

What rpm is considered flogging?

What is the life expectancy of such a bike km?

good for putting about at around 6 to 8 thousand revs. It has a dead
spot between 8 and 8,700 but after that hang on. They are set up to
giv best performance at around 10./11. thou. I just give my bike a
mid life paint job and i used a high temp black paint ( in a spray
can ) that i got from bunnings, its desined for manifolds and headers.
