We've already established that the 112-mph limit doesn't have much of a negative effect in the real world. The point is that it's annoying, simply on principle. You can't legally ride a CB1000R, VFR, or CBR600 over the posted speed limits either, yet they don't have limiters, and if Honda suddenly slapped limiters on them some people would be annoyed by that decision. Conversely, absolutely no one would ever be annoyed if Honda didn't slap limiters on them, or on the CB1100 either. The topic would never even come up.
I've never had my 2013 over 95mph and that behind a guy in a Mini who was obviously late for something. I feel no need to go any faster but the very idea of a speed limiter irks me. I really don't understand why Honda limited the bike in this way.
