During spirited riding, I would frequently hit the rev limiter, which was disconcerting. Otherwise, I found it to be a pleasant, if not uninspiring, motorbike. The heated grips were the best I've ever experienced.
Yes LR - in 2018 they raised the redline from [I think] 6600 to 7500 RPM. Maybe it was even lower in 2015 (not sure).
Honda corporate says it is 7500 RPM in 2018. But the instrument still says 6600.
But Honda says 7500 is applicable when in Sport Mode.
