The problem with 600cc I4 is that at redline in each gear, speed is something like 90, 109, 128, 147, 166, 185 (mph).

How would they gear a 250cc I4? Can you hit redline in 2nd gear at 63 mph? Then one could, you know, actually enjoy the high-revving I4 engine without traveling at organ donor speeds.
