I wasn't expecting a top speed with a speed limiter of 112mph. I know ecu can be reflashed but at what cost and sounds like a pia. Modern bike with modern power for an 1100 would have been nice. I would have expected it to be in par with at least a 600 super sport but guess that was wish full thinking. I love the bike just needs some more twist and go.
Hence the term modern classic Retro. If i wanted a classic rebuilt then could have bought a classic. I would like the Retro look with the modern performance. Just like the new challengers, chargers, mustangs. Modern retros with gobs of modern HP and technology.
The 112 mph top speed is not an issue for most of us.
To reflash the ecu... unplug the old one, send it in with a money order for $300 or so, they keep it a day, reprogram it, send it back, you plug it back in. All rev and speed limiters removed. Top speed about 135, revs to about 9 grand in every gear.
