45mph in second in a VTR isn't ragging the shot out of it. They do just over 60 in second. Saying the limiter sounds different is questionable though lol

Why? Once mines warm (I like to do a good 5 miles first) I see no problem with revving it. The limiter has only cut in once or twice but it seems to come in really quick on VTR's? It's all really well serviced and up to temperature so every now and then I'll give it some stick lol. Saying that it's probably in three gears once a fortnight at the most, otherwise I take it quite easy.

Yeah mine felt a little strangled after 4k but I put a green cotton panel filter in and it seems to pull much stronger now.
