A FZR600 as detuned as it is, is still with a very high peak torque rpm required for its 170 hp per litre (100hp variant) or 130 HP per litre in the 79hp version ...

The more I think about it, the more I believe peaky engines are better for bikes because it will be less prone to rear wheel lock on throttle closing.
