I agree 100%. almost all engines make their peak power before redline. When I drag race I set my gearing so I finish just under redline. usually past peak power but shifting to another gear would waste time (on my 1100XX i liked to run +1/0)
on a road course i want to be geared so that on the longest straight away the bike is nearly tapped out of revs ( most commonly geared -1/+2 for the 1000RR).
