But nobody knows what that motor looks like because nobody is working on extending the powerband to the left. We all know what it takes, or at least have an idea of what the motor with the 3000-8500 powerband looks like... if I had to take a guess, I would say it is probably oversquare.

It looks like this:

4.130 bore x 4 stroke
Rev limit @ 7500
Torque is nearly adequate - anywhere

Spent a lot of time optimizing combination for overall powerband.
