So is it rev limited depending on which gear its in? And that limits speed, or is it simply the speed that triggers a fuel or spark cut?

How about the 0 to 60 in 3.2 seconds, that seems more usable to me.
I'll have to scan and post the Cycle World specs when I get a chance.

They should enable all bikes to pull to redline in top gear!
The CB11 was robbed!!Angry

But the low end is much more important...

Not necessary. With the proper profile, the CB11 could probably reach that speed if dropped from about 5,000 ft. Tongue

So tell me why are the US bikes speed limited when only capable of low top speeds. As far as I know the only speed limiting here is that production bikes must not exceed 300kph top speed.

we don't know if its just for the USA or if its a Japan thing that they dont remove. Either way there has to be either a lawyer or politician or both involved.
