> > The R6, the power is all up top, it’s gutless down low, you have to be up near the top in the rev range for it to go, engine screaming away

With the introduction of ride by wire in the early 00s the electronics became king.

You can customize the throttle ride by wire system according to your preference so the torque area becomes much larger and spread out on the throttle when you move your wrist.

Once the problem of wrist sensitivity has been solved by ride by wire customization the high revs you mentioned are much more manageable.

And also you say engine screaming away like it’s a bad thing.

1) a 4 cylinder in line at 10000rpm is music for an enthusiast ears

2) It makes people aware that you are there , which is a feature not a bug, motorcycles are notoriously invisible for car and truck drivers
