The ignition system on my BA is stone stock so maybe my experience is NA but when I've hit the limiter I have about a one second delay in the next higher gear before it'll kick in again. No tach so I've learned to shift by watching the speedo. Got to be careful or my buddies 1200 Sportster can catch me. (I just hate that)

We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
