All very likely true 'Blade. I'm disputin' none of what you say. But, all that spec aside (lately, too many numbers put me in need for therapy n' therapy is clear-air twisties. 'Can't ever get enough therapy) the bottom line of Honda's bike r' car engines is that they, the engineers that design for the manufacturer, determine the redline. That said, Honda's earned enough respect from this particular Ford guy to trust that they have a pretty good idea of what they're doin'.
It serves no purpose (leastwize, none that will do their reputation, stockholders, n' their ability to stay in business any good) to be advisin' clients to drive their products in excess of RPM that will keep said products reliable. If Ma Honda says the redline's at 9000 I'll respect their experience n' knowledge n' keep it below 9000. If they say the redline's at 15,000 I'll respect that too.
Be well.
