As above really, there are two fundamental reasons:

1: The components are lightweight enough to physically manage to rev that high without pulling a conrod in half

2: The state of tune
due to the short stroke, large valve area, big port size, and "wild" cam profile, everything is optimised so that the usable torque curve occurs a lot higher up in the rev range
