I rode at what i would consider a normal pace highway and back roads.Agreed; in fact for cruiser-style riding, distance riding, tooling about town, or for new/newer riders, forget the reflash. It's for those who want the juice, all of it, all the time.
There are small gains in the lowers gears, but no night and day difference. Would i consider it worth the flash for just normal pace ridding?? NO
There is a bit less drive lash but only people that are on off throttle would notice.
Those who want the limiter gone its we'll worth the flash for other i don't think so.
I don't want members (friends) flashing there bikes only to say it was not worth it.
This is my humble honest opinion.
Just got back from my normal ride on my FZ8. The reflash transformed that bike but you would not notice it unless you ride aggressively, that is, really getting into the juice hard. I like to ride my CB1100 the same way, I'm into the juice all the time, it loves to rev and I like to keep the R's up between and betwixt 5500-8000. It pulls real good and clean up there, and with the factory restrictions removed I know I'm gonna love it.
For the guy putting 400 miles a day on the freeway or enjoying the scenery, you'll never notice it. The only scenery I like, personally, when riding a motorcycle is whatever is 3 seconds ahead of me and the tachometer. In that order. I don't want Cap'n Kidd biting me in the ass.
