top speed, quarter mile

[Mike Bee_imp]

I'm not far off this opinion, but would not say the CB1100 is peerless. I am still in the frame of mind that makes me look forward to a ride on my GSX-R 750 first, followed by the FZ8, and then the CB1100, which I rank right alongside my F700GS. It has earned a place in my garage because it delivers the quintessential experience of riding a lovely, well-sorted inline four better than any other bike I know. And that's something I need from time to time to remind me there are other reasons to ride than to see how far I've worn down the tires.

I have to say, this is literally the first forum I have ever visited where users WELCOME their brand new motorcycles being LIMITED. I can't believe what I am reading, has anyone read my previous post here? My mind is completely blown.

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'.

What are your thoughts on the fact that all motorcycles are speed-limited to a mere 186 mph? Personally, I am fine with the fact my GSX-R 750 can only do 167 mph and doesn't have a speed limiter, but if I buy an S1000RR/HP4, I know that bike will do well over 200 mph but the damned execrable gubment is just tying me down.
The execrable German government - it's a bloody conspriacy!
