the "projected" and "indicated" (on the tach) redline is 17500. yamaha is offering buyback of their first shipment of these things because the actual engine redline is around 15000. A friend and coworker of mine has one, but he's not selling it back. it's still got a lot of power, even if you have to wind it up all the way to get that power.

isn't this a honda forum? :-P
