Here,to us in the US, limiting ANYTHING doesn't make much sense, but to the rest of the world, they look at things a little differently. To us, limiting horse power, or speed is a personal affront, to the rest of the world limiting those things is logical for the greater good of the people. Do people really need a vehicle that will go 2 1/2 times the highest speed limit in the land?
I think in the not too distance future there will be a lot more limitations placed on the rest of the world, that will bleed over to the US. I believe some European countries are already making plans to ban gasoline powered vehicles in 2040. How long will it be before the US follows? With the rush to self driving cars here in the US, how many years before our citizens won't be permitted to pilot there own vehicles? Motorcycle or car?
The world was certainly a differnt place for my great grandparents, it will certainly be a different place for my great grand children. Heck, maybe even my grandchildren.
In my particular case I don't care either way if it has limiters or if it hadn't had limiters. Would make no difference in how I ride. Poor Mickey tried yesterday and couldn't even GET to the limiters lol, and I bought both my CB's know they had limiters in place when I bought them.
Personally right now I'm delighted to have my internally combustion self driven Honda CB1100, limited or not.
