I don't know how you do it, I think I hit the rev limiter on the way home from the dealership. She is really coming to life before she hits the rev limiter. That is why I think that if my BA had a rev limiter that went just a couple hundred more R's higher It would be even more of a blast to ride. I do believe that these engines can handle a couple extra R's without damging them. You gotta try it, if only once but then you may become addicted to it!
