Someone can expand on things, but basically bike engines are small and lightweight, with very short strokes. The cam timing is optimised of these high rpms, so below 5 or 6k, depending on engine, they are useless - especially for a heavy car where torque is required. F1 engines now rev to 20k based on the same principles.
