I don't have a philosophical dog in the hunt, but from a practical standpoint, accelerating using the full rev range gets you to highway speeds in..I don't know... 2nd? 3rd? Unless I'm in the Bonneville Salt Flats, it doesn't seem particularly useful to wind up at 65mph in 3rd in 2 seconds and have to immediately shift all the way up to 6th.
I will say that it's quite a bit different with my 5 speed CB750. That's geared way lower and it's definitely more practical to rev nearer to red line with something approaching normal riding.
