I did like the orange color on the RE Interceptor 650 tanks.

As far as high revs go, that way lies madness or a future traffic violation ticket

There is a reason that bikes that put out a lot of torque down low are ending up popular bikes with riders (MT-07, etc). Letting you get a power rush down in the legal speeds ranges for thrills without infractions

Want low RPM torque, my VFR1200 has it in spades. it makes over 90ft-lbs from 3500-9000rpm lol. even below 3500 it pulls ok. Not MT07 levels, but he MT07 does't carry the power like my bigger V4.

The high rpm, small displacement engine bikes usually have very short gearing. Lots of noise and RPM, but not much speed. The old CBR250RR and other 250cc 4 banger bikes from the 90's, and the current ZX25RR all spin to 18k+ rpm, and make around 40-50hp. They sound like F1 cars, but go about as fast as a typical 40-50hp motorcycle lol.
