RPM on the left, speed at the bottom. 6000 rpm shift point.
Great pictures of lots of really cool looking hardware!

I do have an engineering question for you about your graph though....

That's the weirdest non linear scale I've ever seen for the X axis. Please in engineering terms explain it, also explain why you chose such an arbitrary non linear function. Why is there a speed increase from the shift point of 6000 RPM to the next point on the graph where the next gear is selected at a lower RPM? I always like to learn from an expert engineer why these strange things are done. ( I assume the units for "speed" is MPH?)
