Retro bikes, comparison.

[uscgmac_imp]

You can read and watch all the reviews you want and talk to whoever you want. Nobody was talking about or advertising that the bike has a speed limiter of 112mph. I've been riding for 26 years and had over 20 bikes and never heard of this so don't say shame on anyone. Your statements are as rediculous as the speed limiter. Not everyone has to be 60+ to want this bike, some wantitfor the cool Retro look and modern touches, expecting an 1100 to have some balls, not have the same capability of a 500cc bike. My riding capabilities far exceed the speed limiter.

Don't call my comment ridiculous. Watch your mouth. I guess my comment hit a nerve as you are one of those that didn't do enough research. I saw the limiter mentioned in more than one magazine and online review when I was doing my research. I have very little desire to do over 100 on a naked bike. I've done it on my faired BMWs so I'm not afraid to do so, I just don't like the feeling of being pushed off the rear of the seat while doing so.

Yes you could join a forum and look through threads then maybe find a post about speed limiters but who ever really does that. If anything you would check the forum to see peoples reviews but might not particularly find something about a speed limiter unless you fall upon it so enough on the you should of known crap, that's rediculous. I also do NOT want a crotch rocket. Wasn't looking for a crotch rocket, all I'm saying is that a 2014 1100cc bike should not come with a speed limiter, the speed limiter should be my judgement and my wrist. I do love the bike and I will keep it and am more than satisfied with it. In the future I may consider the ecu mod after the warranty expires. I got the look and ride quality and comfort that I wanted, I just like to wind out my bikes on occasion and don't like that someone predetermined what my allowable Max speed should be undermining the true potential of the bike itself. Why would anyone want to do over 112? Well for me that is a very easy and obtainable speed to handle on highways. Its my perogative. I'm not hating the bike by any means just has that one quirk about it.
P.s. with the Puig windscreen, I have zero wind blast on my chest even at high speeds so i don't think I'll ever get blown off the bike, lol. Even without the screen that's just not going to happen, just tuck a little.
Also, I was just out riding before and want to say that the bike truly does have a great low end and middle end ratio. The bike has great performance with tourqe and pull in the mid range. Lots of fun in third and fourth around 4 to 5k rpms.

Ever hear of the saying- When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging?
The info about the rev limiter is out there and has been out there. Just because you didn't find it or notice doesn't make others ridiculous. More people than just me saw it mentioned. Whether we thought it a big deal and whether it remained at the forefront of our research memory is up to each individual.

First off I believe I struck a cord in you, not the other way around, secondly my opinion is my opinion so don't ask me to watch anything and third off if you actually paid attention to anything I said you would have accepted it and moved on. I don't believe people go around researching if bikes have speed limiters so go read all your magazines and enjoy. Also if everyone else would actually take the time to understand the statements in place they would understand that I am very pleased with the motor just not the way the ecu is programed. The ecu is not part of the motor for those of you who commented about that. You are actually the one who sounds like your talking yourself into trying to like your own bike and not sure if you really do. Discussing this is like talking to a mule. Done with this. Oh by the way do I have to type a disclaimer that all speed trials were conducted on a closed coarse circuit by a professional rider so the forum police don't come running!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!
I agree that lots of research can be done on anything, very true and you now what, everyone is right. I am the one responsable to know what I am buying so yes I should have known. My fault, I just don't see it being something that lots of people will pick up on being I wouldn't have even thought of a bike having a speed limiter let alone a very low one. So yes my fault for all the nit pickers out there. I did say I still love the bike, o.k. Sorry to all, just don't like when people try undermining my statements, I give it right back.
