top speed, quarter mile

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'.

Snow,

Good grief, I suggest a switch to decaf. So let me get this straight. I have no right to post, should go to a place where they wipe my butt, I "welcome" the limiter, have no motorcycleing spirit, I don't take responsibility, and should go to a place where they feed me through a tube. OK. Perhaps that's asking a lot of someone who has a different opinion.

Oh, and I think that Honda needs to limit me "for my own good".

FWIW, Honda neither knows or cares what's good for me. Honda put that limiter there because they thought it would be good for Honda. You drive on public roads that have limits, your passenger car almost certainly has a limiter, and you live in a state and country that limit you in thousands of ways. Does everybody in Texas need to have their butts wiped?

I removed the 205 mph limiter on my Ford GT, doubled its HP with twin turbos, and did 220+ at the Texas Mile. I didn't carp about Ford putting a limiter on my GT, they had their own reasons for doing it. I removed it for my own reasons. If I ever feel the need to I'll remove it from my CB as well.

I appreciate your passion but I'm going to suggest that when you start to flame other members opinions and then suggest they have no right to post that you are going too far. When everybody feels like they can post up what they know, or think they know, the best info will become evident. But when you start flaming the opinions you don't like, some members won't post and this Forum will be poorer for it. Be nice.
