Every modern motorcycle is limited electronically rather than mechanically. It can be a hard limiter or a soft limiter, but it's an electronic limiter none the less and the limiters prevent engine damage. In addition all manufaturers agreed to a gentlemans agreement ( except MV Augusta who refused) to limit all motorcycles no matter the displacement or horsepower to a maximum 186 mph. So your Aprilia VF4, your BMW S1000, your Kawasaki H2, your Yamaha FZ-10, your Ducati Panigale, your Suzuki Hyabusas... Even though they have 100 more horsepower than your CB 1100 will only run 74 mph faster.
This is interesting, and news to me. Any idea on the significance of 186 mph?
300 arbitrary, round and metric km/h
