My question is...should there be any concern riding this baby hard (below red). Just because it is de-tuned I'm hoping it's even more willing and able to get pushed w/out concern of pre mature wear or damage. Honda's engineering is legendary for being rock solid, so I couldn't imagine.Thanks
This motor likes to be stretch out, or I'd like to think she does. I always wait for the first oil change then I redline almost every time I'm out. Nothing crazy just i nice roll on in 1st 2nd and 3rd usually on entrance ramps to the highway. Your not going to hurt or damage this motor.

I'm wondering the same thing.How much can this engine be pushed.
Off hand the answer might be,with any new model, caveat emptor.
But both my Honda Rune and VTX 1800 ,both brand new models
disproved any doubt.
Both bikes had great build quality in the engine department.
But I'm still a little leery.Seems like the CB has a little trouble
with extended hard throttle.Like it gets into vibration mode too
easy.However I only have a little over 400 miles on it.
I don't believe in babying a new bike.Don't run it hard but also
don't baby it and never lug it.
The theory is that if you baby a new engine it will never really perform to it's max.because you have to make sure and put enough of a load on the engine to force the rings to seed properly.Push them
up and seed so as to give enough clearance for the piston to travel
to it's full stroke.
