Reviving an old thread here, but with some current thoughts. When I read here that my new 2017 EX is electronically speed limited to 112 mph, I found it offensive that Honda would decide to build that electronic nanny into my new bike. Maybe the 120 mph speedo should have tipped me off, but it didn't. So I started thinking about looking for an electronic solution to bypass that limit, although the reality is that the only time I should exceed that speed would be during a track day, and I have a better bike for those. Then it occurred to me that this bike has laced wheels. And inner tubes. And that I have not looked at the speed rating on the OEM tires. Did I mention the fact that it has laced wheels, which I am positive are engineered to be structurally sound up to 112 mph. But how about at speeds higher than that? So I calmed down a bit.
