There was a thread through here recently whereas it was stated that speed governors were first included in the 1996 model year. This I HAVE NOT verified, and is subject to verification. (someone was complaining about not being able to go over 120mph)
Honda has been incorporating rpm limiters for quite some time as a 'don't blow up your engine' safety valve.

I think the limiters are in everything but ex/se models. 4th gens have them set at 115mph. I don't know why you would really need to go that fast anyways. Probably takes forever to get up there.

I don't have any speed governor on my '96 Accord EX. I've hit 135 on the freeway with all stock.

These cars barely go that fast you guys must either have some serious mods or a mile or so of straight aways. I haven't seen if mine can go over 125mph so I don't know.

my 1994 lx coupe can reach 125+ as I have seen the speedo go past 125 but I didn't want to get pulled over in WI so I slowed down.

90 Accord LX = aerodynamic wall at 120ish, no noticeable limiter.

99 Accord LX = limiter at 142mph, no noticeable aerodynamic wall.
