The dyno charts I've seen for stock bikes generally show the power begin to taper off at around 7300 rpm. That's a result of the tuning (i.e. cams and intake). Honda was going for low end power and linear delivery on this engine (which suits me fine). The price paid for that is that there is no top end punch that you'd commonly find on an inline 4 tuned for peak hp.
