My Griso has plenty of low speed jerkiness, I've been told it's the nature of the beast being a lumpy V twin. Remapping has helped; but it sure makes the CB seem smooth as silk and well mannered. I just don't see this low speed jerkiness in the CB. But maybe because of my experience with the Griso.
I've been over 112 on the Griso once; doing a quick high speed pass of an RV on a forest back road. Had no intention of going that high, but the Griso can get there pretty quick. My throttle hand is still pretty much calibrated to the slower bikes I'm used to, in this regard the CB is much more suited to this history. But I've found the CB does have a hidden hooligan if you play in the upper rpm range. Having the speed limiter removed, for me, would not be a factor in the way I ride. On the other hand, knowing it was gone would seem to lift a physiological barrier. It's weird, we're weak, meh, that's the way it is. Still, I'd like to do it, but the bike does run pretty well for me so until I ride one with the flashed ECU so I can compare seat of the pants differences it would be money spent to remove the speed limiter and I already have a bike that does that.
So anyone in Phoenix with a flashed bike?

Hm... If you want to share the Griso, I can meet you half way! I've been so fond of both the Griso and V7 lately. I need to try one out!
Wow, that would be cool. How far is it between Houston and Phoenix?
Google Maps tells me about 16 hours and the halfway point is right around the Mexican border... Looks like we would probably be walking home if we met there. It's more likely that I would pass through Phoenix. I've *really* been wanting to ride to LA. I have a sister who lives there and getting to go see her is rare as is. Being able to lump in a nice, long distance ride would be awesome.
Hey plan a ride with an over night stop over at Rboes, ride, go out to dinner, continue on to see your sister the next day win win win

Which is another reason I won't be at the CB1100 Rally. LOL
Hey hey hey, maybe we could work something out! If I retire early enough in 2015 I just may have to work up a ride.....

Same here. I think folks are delusional.
