It probably feels more like a an IL4 because of the engine stroke/bore.
If it has a muchly (i know its not a word) oversquare engine, then it will rev really high.
So, the shorter the stroke of the engine, the higher it will rev.
This is why IL4's rev more, it has more smaller cylinders with short strokes, so they rev higher.
Even though you associate twins with bieng the more torquey motor, you can bet your **** that something like a 4 cylinder suzuki GSX1400 wont rev as high as your GS, probably even lower than the SV.
It all depends on tuning aswell, the more the engine is tuned, the higher it can rev, so the more power it will produce, thats why its a surprise to me that the GS revs as high as it does, its not exactly race orientated is it?
