VLJ, I’m sure I’ve read somewhere that speed limiting bikes is mandatory in Japan and 180 kmh or 112 mph is the magic number. Of course, that may be an urban myth. If not, Honda has obviously decided not to remove the limiter for exports in spite of it being an affront to many past and present members of this forum.
I’m at a loss to explain any rev limiter, unless it cuts it at the red line where, presumably, manufacturers don’t want the engine to go.
The good news is that Don Guhl Motors, somehere in the USA, can remove both for you for a modest fee.
I know that avoids the question of whether they should be there in the first place; but, hey, they are.
The disappointing thing about writing this post is that it’s already your tomorrow here but I’m still going to have to wait an age for your impressions of the bike.
