Well, first off, the amount of cylinders has nothing to do with RPM. Factors like, the engines stroke has much more to do with it. Engines with shorter strokes tend to rev much higher.
An F1 car, turbo, v-10 and 180ci, redlines at 17,000 rpm! It has huge cylinders, but a tiny stroke. The problem is that short stroke, high reving motors may not make any low end power. The engine may start making real power at 6500 and redline at 8500. I'm not sure what you mean by "and never loose power." They loose on the bottom end. The valve train, cam, and parts duribilty also factor into an engines redline.
