Well, yeah if you look at a modern 600 sportbike gearbox... But take a look at the gearboxes I mentioned from slightly older bikes, all with lower peakk hp and higher overall torque... And all of them designed by the same guy that designed the gearbox on the Queen Mary... The numbers say it would work...
