Just a little nit: *Maximum HP does not occur at maximum RPM. *Since HP is
the product of RPM x torque, and since torque peaks somewhere below max RPM,
the HP curve peaks somewhere between the two.

That depends on the power curve of the engine in question; in the
motorcycle world, there are plenty of engines that make peak power at
redline.
