Only the DKM could rev like that, and nobody outside of NSU has one as far as I know.

[quote name='drez' date='Jun 26 2005, 05:19 PM']i know you have to remove the rev limiter to do it but still there not a tak around to show that high so i guess you would need some kind of special equipent at a garage to test this and a 12a you dont care about.

Maybe one of those teeny tiny penny-sized rotors?

If you use a light machine oil, like sewing machine oil, instead of that heavy motor oil stuff, you can get them up to 28000 RPM. Or so I have heard.
