These guys are always claiming that they're using F1 technology, but it's really just marketing stuff. F1 cars can rev well over 20K (except the rules limit them to 18), and I seem to remember hearing that their valves don't even use traditional valve springs, because they're simply not fast enough. The actually use compressed air inside a metal bellows to reset the valves. Renault is even looking into eliminating the camshaft altogether by using electro-hydraulic valves, whatever that's supposed to mean. It would be interesting if they had bikes with this sort of thing, and I guess you could say they're using 1980s F1 technology, but for the most part it's just 1/4 of a Civic motor tuned to destruction.
