I know, off-topic, so shoot me...

As impressive as that 15,500 is in the YZF R6 I'm equally impressed with my first bike. A 1973 350/4, that had a redline of 13,000, and that was 31 years ago...

If the '00-'03 S is not the highest production redline, then it must be outdone by some very amazing cars!

Isn't the new m5 supposed to be close? As someone mentioned, I think the 360cs also came pretty close.

Redline for the F20C is 8900. Not sure why so many people round that number up to 9000.
It really is 9000. The preproduction S2000 was redlined at 8900, but all of the ones after those are 9000. I know this because those are the stats of an old 2002 Honda S2000 brochure that I have, it clearly says that the redline is 9000. I don't think the brochure would lie.

I wouldn't argue against SteveC with a brochure, not a strong argument. It's acutally 8900, and I actually had the MY02.

I thought ITR was 9000, or was that more of the modded ones?

Old ITR was 8400. Mod'd B18C will go to 9500- for a short period of time, anyway. Stock K20 is apparently good to 8600 as Hondata RSXs with increased redline don't seem to be blowing up.

redline is 8900, fuel cut is 9000 or 9100 (that part i'm vague on.) but if you look around modifry's website, he discusses redline etc etc.

I believe that is incorrect. In this case fuel cut-off is at 8900 RPM's. This is a point that has been discussed at some length years ago, I will dig around for that thread and the info provided.
Regardless, what's a hundred revs amongst friends?
