Oh god no !!! I hate sportbikes. I have yet to own any bike i love as much as this one, but no bike is perfect and this just happens to be one way it isn't. But to trade it for a sportbike would be like ordering something you hate in a restaurant because it come with an eggrol the dish you love doesn't.

Because to me it's just not fun watching the tach and trying to shift before it cuts out. It's fine if i'm winding it to any lesser degree where i'm not going to hit the limiter. But when i wind it out to get max accelleration the limiter is a pain and it simply ruins the fun of it for me. I never owned a bike with a limiter before this and never had to deal with it. I like feeling the engine and knowing instinctivly when the power is just starting to drop off then shifting. It's a whole different thing.
