On my ride home today from Mendocino I'll try redlining first, second, and third. I would expect third gear to hit 112 mph before reaching redline, however, so I'll probably only see redline in first and second.
Heck, my GSX-R1000 did 123 mph in second, so that thing would have been speed-limited in all but first gear!
Not sure about the '17, but when '13 models were run on the dyno, they were able to hit the rev limiter in 3rd gear, before encountering the speed limiter.
As I recall from the Guhl reflash threads, the ECU rev limiter was set to cut in 500 rpm before actual redline. Can't see why that would be a problem as the engine power peaks at about 7,300, then drops off. You don't really gain anything by running the engine beyond that point.
