I agree. I hate it when the car or bike ahead of me is only going 110mph and I want to pass. I need more than 112mph to get around them. What was Honda thinking? Tongue

That's exactly right, what WAS Honda thinking. They're advertising campaign for this is 'a day of freedom', but with a limiter on your bike....again.....a LIMITER.....on your BIKE, you're no longer really free to do what you will, are you.

Think of it this way- Honda purposely had to use extra MONEY, RESOURCES, and TIME to install this limiter rather than NOT installing it. Can you believe that a part (even if a small fraction percentage) of the price you paid for your CB went towards LIMITING yourself? How dumb is that?

Actually, I think it was in place for Japan, so it was cheaper and easier to leave it on the US bike than take off.

Here is some more reading... and there is a thread in there about defeating the rev limiter as well as other discussions on it...

With you on This.

I've hit the limiter a few times and the motor shows no signs of slowing down except when it hits the damn limiter.

We as humans are not content plain and simple, for me I want to go fast on something that doesn't look fast.Biker
