VStroms are able to go faster than the stock suspension, windscreen, and bodywork can handle. The fixes are easy enough, but more than one owner crashed or ruined ther riding pants finding that out.

Honda's explanation for the limiter is engine heat control. We're air cooled. That's also why we get an oil cooler.
