with the new zx14 coming out i've heard that it's been top speed limited. sorry for my layman's knowledge of cycles but is there some sort of government mandatory limit going on?

 

I think anyone who wants to go that fast will have the knowledge to get around it.

Anyone who doesn't have that knowledge, doesn't need to be going that fast.

 

voluntary manufacture limit I think...could be wrong though...

 

186 i think it is for all jap made bikes..... started in 2001. it is fairly easy to bypast limmiting at least on suzuki's..

well you know how ur seat feels good when it vibrates at 90mph. lmao

 

any limit on the speed would be imposed by the factory. there arent any limits that i know of for the motorcycle industry that are imposed by the government.

ever had to go poop really bad, and you feel the turtle stickin his head out?

hrmm .... now i gotta poop

 

It's not government mandated, it is self imposed. There was a big uproar in Europe after the Hayabusa came out about banning certain bikes cause they were too fast, iirc.

For the ZX-12R you can get the Bonneville box, which allows full revs and power in top gear.

ahh thanks for the clarification!

were the manufactures afraid of governments banning certain motorcycles for sale? is this agreement the same with all manufacturers or are only some participating?

I'm 99.9 percent sure all of the bigger companies follow this understanding, with limiting top speed.

However just like the ZX12 has the bonneville box....a Yosh TRE should effectively remove the top speed limiter on a busa...as it did on my 600. I didn't theorize...i found out.

I agree, because technical knowledge is synonymous with riding skill.

On another note, does anyone else have a sweeping generalization to make themselves look foolish?

 

They have a race here in nc every year. at maxton with the eastcoast timing association.. there wasa fairly stock busa that ran 224 through the mile

 

its the bike companies that do that. Who wants a crotch rocket doing 200 plus and plowing into people thinkin ur duhamel on city streets. If u race then i am sure u can get around all the **** they do for public safety.
