Default RE: Ive been wondering for a while

don't get too caught up in rpm, they aren't that useful. the quoted numbers are estimates, there is no hard and fast limit for rpm. also, that is assuming you can hit that. wind drag, gear drag, tires all affect top speed by dragging down the engine. doesn't matter if your engine can hit 50,000 rpm if it doesn't have enough torque to overcome the drag.
