With no traction control, I don't think Id want to do a full T punch off the line with my Ribelle or an Ego.  As it is, with TC on I can have a hard time keeping the bike down when I hit the throttle hard.  Granted I am nowhere near an expert with drag racing or even on the track, more of a street runner here but still, a full throttle on the line Id imagine would make that bike stand up like a prairie dog.

Even with a TC setting of 3, I have had friends tell me that on a hard accel, im coming up off the ground and I can feel it too, the front end gets real light.  Maybe someday but for now, I am working on better control overall before I start playing with trick moves.

Id think maybe the EGO would be a bit easier to keep her grounded because you are already hunched and have more weight up front .vs. the R where you are more upright and center of gravity is higher.

So bringing us to the speedo error.   Can you get closer to a true 125 out of it now, and not 114 ish that reads 125 when you push it that far?

Experia is electronically limited to 180kmh or ~112mph. Can it do it??. I've only had it to ~160kmh or 100mph and it can get there very easily and GPS vs the actual speedo reading is within 1kmh...so it's as good as I can get it. ...Feels like it wants to go much further than just 180kmh too. I'm sure it's quite capable if it were to be "unrestricted" and let loose.

I know, thats what I don't like.  THe EGO and Ribelle are essentially the same bike, just different handle bars, and seat position really, the drive train is the same,  only big diff is the power mapping, and of course the top end.  I really wish, even if it was a pay for option, they'd open up the top end of the Ribelle.  I don't see what the issue is really.  A fkn Busa or other crotchie can do a buck 60 out of the box, the busa closer to 200, so why not the Ribelle?  It can handle it, we've seen that on the race track with Stefano.
