It's set after redline....like in most cars...you know that annoying pinging noise Honda owners make? That's from having their car boucing off the rev limiter<P><P>------------------<BR>~'94 GS

I highly doubt it will get to 200mph before the rev limiter kicks in...i got upto 122 and it was almost at redline<P>------------------<BR>~'94 GS

I live in Germany and have free reign of the road but I can only get to about 120mph and then nothing... no high rev, no kicking or sputtering, just no more speed! I don't get it I'm no where near redline I'm usually sitting around 3 or 4?? I'm confused as well, I always wondered if maybe there might be some sort o limiter on the engine?? Who's got the answer....<P>------------------<BR>Justin E. Evans<BR>Quartermaster92Y@hotmail.com
