rough idea, 13750rpm. and no. Most folk just transplant as much as possible.
EDITED TO SAY, this is not true!!!

12,000 rpm, but don't go past 10500 as thats when they stop making thier power, and you're only putting uneccasery strain on the engine,
and I've seen my fair share of R1 motors go pop from my racing days, they usually snap a conrod or jump teeth on the timing chain as the chain
tensioners are a bit weak.

i thought that with it pulling a heavier car it would put alot of strain on the crank!!
how many miles will the engine last !!!
i just ran my car at newark show for its first time and it sounds like its done a big end  also there is rather alot of copper filings in the
sump?
and im of to collect another engine today and dont fancy breaking this one before the iva lol

Incorrect. For a 5JJ its just under 12,000. You don't need to limit this in a car but as peak power is around 10,750 you might as well change
around 11,000 (when pressing on) and save the strain on the engine.

Sounds like the bike was crashed and laid on its side running or you were just sold rubbish!... its a PITA when someone sells you junk.
That aside the engine, gearbox etc are all designed to take the same load, it makes no difference car or bike as long as you get it cooled and
lubricated properly in this respect.
As the drive train is harder the shock loads are a bit higher.
