It's those titanium valves and 17.5k redline that does it. Of course, the 130 hp helps too. All from 600cc.

Do some more checking, Pat, and you'll find the bike actually doesn't rev that high. Yamaha offered to buy them back to those who bought them before that became known. Also, the bike has no low-end or midrange power. It's best for the track, with constant shifting to keep it in the power band.
