Thanks that was a great help.
Where do you guys find the open highway to run over 100 mph? I will confess to having done that a few times myself, but not often enough where I'd worry about being able to modify the mapping so that my CB1100 wouldn't bog down at 100+ mph.
Me and my Moto Guzzi 1200 Sport did put on a few + miles in excess of the 'ton' in WY several years ago, and this old gal did so without an issue, even with panniers, tank bag, and a few pieces of camping gear strapped to the rear rack.
Perhaps most of you who want to eliminate the top speed restriction are track day riders?
In Montana, there is a 40+ mile stretch between Plains and Flathead Lake, Hwy 28, which is prime for stretching the legs of your ride of choice.

Not really, Flynrider. ;-)
A GPS like my Garmin Montana is much more accurate than my speedo. Especially on my ST1300. That bike has a wacky out-of-touch speedo.

Just to let you know that all automotive & motorcycle speedo always show more by 5-10%(estimated) than actually driven.
One of the reason is that you cannot sue manufacturer for speeding = your speedo was showing less and you got caught
In Ohio, "you are mine over nine" = watch out
In Ontario, if you are caught driving 50 kilometers per hour over the posted limit your car will be impounded + big fine$ upto C$10000 + court..no kidding
GPS seems to be more accurate.

Also in Ohio.. If you are caught doing 20+ over the speed limit you can get a reckless op ticket and rather large fine and points. They may just give you a ticket but if you are a jerk to the LEO he can make your life miserable with a reckless op ticket.
Btw the highest speeding ticket in Ohio last year was a Honda motorcycle going speed limit plus 70 mph. Yes, his bike was confiscated and he was taken directly to jail.

Please explain what these two terms mean??

Sorry op means operation
Reckless operation of a motor vehicle
LEO is an acronym for Law Enforcement Officer or Policeman
I want to be towed in Ohio
