Howdy and welcome to the forumWe can only go by what Honda says, and in the "designers talk" series on Honda's website they go into great detail about the 3000 rpm rumble and the assymetrical timing. Not being an engineer myself I can't speak to what does and doesn't make sense, but that is what the Honda engineers who designed the bike said they did. I'll take their word for it.

AS far as how it worked out in real life, for me the bike is very smooth in the rpm ranges I ride in.
