Part of owning and riding a motorcycle is taking responsibility for the dangers and power that you have at your wrist. You are giving up that responsibility by letting them cap you with a limiter.
For those of you who never do three digits and say 'oh it doesn't affect me so I don't care', then you have no reason to post in this topic or the right to an opinion, because it (as you said) does not affect you. I'm all for safety, but good god what happened to your motorcycling spirit?
If you feel Honda should limit you for your own good, you really shouldn't be riding. or driving. Hell, you should just go to a place where they wipe your butt and feed you through a tube for maximum knowledge of 'what is best for you'.
Sir,
I just reviewed that the 2001+ Hayabusa is limited to 186 mph. Oh, the outrage! Limited? I'm going to call my congressman! Or Fox News!
BTW, not everyone needs a bike that has an infinite top speed. Just ask millions of satisfied Harley owners.
And speaking of limits, opinions are not limited by yours.

we're not talking about the hayabusa, the y2k, the veyron, or what else you want to throw into this mess. we're talking about a cb1100, something that is a modern literbike that can't even keep up with its carb counterpart
On the other hand, if you really want to force my hand at a response- yes, yes it would be an outrage if I was a buyer for a hyperbike. Someone like kawasaki advertizing their zx-14r to be the fastest production bike in the world or a few years ago, the hayabusa, would irritate me that they cap it at 180-something mph when I specifically paid for the full performance package they are advertizing.
I take my bonneville up to 115 every now and then and like to push it, are you saying it's fair to cb1100 riders who want to do the same but can't because of YOUR opinion that IT'S OKAY to limit the bike since YOU don't want to go that fast anyway?
