The window is far from narrow, as the bike revs slower than a short stroke 4. The only problem I have with the power band is that it doesn't drop anywhere, so I find myself hitting the limiter from time to time, since it just pulls hard all the way to it..

FACT

It is not a flat spot, it's a trench. I could easily feel it before a pipe and remap.

I agree that it doesn't taper off at the end. Very easy to hit the limiter if you aren't paying attention.

We realize this. But in day to day riding, is it necessary to rev it to that range just in order to get in front of traffic? Not in my experience.
