Looks like the speed limiter is still on the '14.
#17
Cracked the ton( just for the sake of having done it ) one time on a trip to Memphis when I had about 2000 miles on the clock. Bike felt totally fine and stable at that speed ..... It was more me that was uncomfortable . Top end speed has never really been the draw for me. I guess my need for speed is more acceleration and working the gear box based in slower settings.

My thoughts are that the speed limiter was simply left the same as the Japanese models . I am sure that overheating protection was certainly the engineering goal, but quite frankly it did not sell all that great here and that had to be a factor in my opinion.
