No 2018 F6B!

On the bright side, we'll be able to out run the new one if it's limited to 111 mph.

Good point!

Good point!

I wonder, if the specs are correct, what the small chance these numbers are Europe specific? As stated the new bikes have to adhere to a new Euro4 or something emissions standards. What has been eluded to in previous leaks is that the Wings have full computer management of the engine performance. It's not hard to imagine that the specifications could be altered from one region to the next. These specs being listed from a UK source. Out side of that optimistic possibility, the plausibility of manipulation of engine performance to include speed limiters by outside sources could also be in play. Just a thought.

Hopefully it'll have an IMU with cornering ABS. But first I have to get past the big lipped smiley face in the front and the old boxy style saddle bags in the rear.

All of the articles that reference the speed limiting have used km/h instead of mph and emphasized that the limiting is performed electronically i.e. it's programmed in and is not a mechanical limitation.

I wouldn't be surprised if this limit was strictly programmed into the European bikes just to meet some standards over there and a different ceiling gets set for the North American models.
