I’m sure this engine could run at higher rpm but the 6k redline prob keeps it bullet proof and closer to the power band.
Not that I care much, but testing the Ninja 900 at redline for 24 hours seem like a bit of a "stretch" and I would check the facts on that statement....Maybe true but I doubt it really happened.....Regards and ride safe
