The speed/rev limitations on the CB 1100 are easily overcome with a $350 reflash. That's less than a seat, less than a fairing, less than a pipe, less than a set of wheels, less than a set of shocks, less than a set of tires, less than a Canadian has to pay for a luggage rack even. If it bothers someone that much, it can be resolved quickly and in comparison to other common mods, pretty inexpensively
Edit and " flogging" was Bheezy's term not mine, but I understand the concept as I have certainly flogged a few bikes in my past.

I agree with DaSwami that I would prefer the bike be shipped without the speed limiter (I believe the rev limiter is there to protect the motor, so I don't much care about its removal). On the other hand, it's such a SMALL thing to complain about and it's correctable for those that desire it.
