I only have 525 miles on this bike, I hope this 115 mph max. is temporary till after 600 or 1000 miles, I guess that would be easy to do with today's electronics.
I had read somewhere that the FZ was electronically limited to 132mph.  How many times per year do you go this fast? 
I've seen stock FZs on YouTube turn sub-11-second quarter mile times with trap speeds greater than 120mph.  How often will you do this in a year?
 
Based on the same engine, but penalized with about a 40 pound weight differential (but with perhaps better aerodynamics), I predict the following (after break-in) for the FJ-09:
 
0-60mph:  3.0 seconds
1/4mile:  10.9 seconds @ 125mph
Top Speed: 145mph (132mph if electronically limited like the FZ)
 
Is this not fast enough?

Not the point. Sometimes we like to go fast, not often, but occasionally and a speed limiter is just a nuisance. Looks like an aftermarket ECU flash is in my future. Not everybody likes to push the limits on there bikes, and that is fine. But some of us do, and for those times........

I understand that.  Almost everyone likes to go fast once in awhile.  That's why we buy bikes like these. 
But I would still ask, is there THAT much of a subjective difference in "feel" from 132mph, to say 145mph tops (even with an aftermarket ECU).

No, and that would be fine, but 115mph is not fine. I can hit 115mph on the front straight of Big Willow easily, and that is not acceptable if there is more room.

I predict that once your bike goes past 1,000 miles that you'll be able to hit 130mph easily.  And maybe even 140mph+. 
Now, quit typing and start riding to get those 1,000 miles on the odometer!   ;)

575 miles and counting. Changed the oil and filter today. No pieces or metal shavings in the oil YAY! This bike is way easy to work on. Everything is in plain sight.

the once i went up to 115... would not get passed this but i then realized at the end of the ride i was in standard mode....maybe standard and a modes have different limiters, any one know of this?
 
in standard, i dont see it ever getting passed the 115 i was rolling, it had nothing left.

I was in A mode and so was Ti. Sounds like the same limiter. I will hit 600 miles next time out and will see on a closed course if it is still limited.
