The whole poiont of the red bit is that its telling you you will damage the motor if you go further, modern engines have a secondary safeguard in the electronics to shut it down at a safe limit.

My TDR shows 12000 on the taco but the red line is at 10 and the engine litterally stops like its hit a brick wall at 10000 rpm.

More importantly a big single is a torque monster if you are reving it that hard you are missing the best bit. I've never had a big single but i'll bet Gas will be on here later and give a better idea of how to get the best from it.
