Quite simple really.....lots of revs and a carb for each cylinder.
In 2024 superbikes can manage more than 200 BHP per litre without forced induction. No grunty low down torque but low weight and gearing tends to cover this up.
My Yamaha FJ1200 only made 125 BHP but was also a proper 'stump puller' when it came to torque.
