And then the renewal comes in when you’re still paying for it ?

I got a quote on an Aprilia RS660 for like 175 a month. If it's anything like that, I'd be game
yup, or the ones that can afford it new are less likely to crash it. wait until they hit the used market at a lower price and then we'll see.

Manufacturers 'gentlemen's' agreement says 300 kmh.

I think the ECU kicks in and flattens the ignition timing ?

Yup, there are a few, my Hayabusa was game. I tried a couple of times, but my GPS told me I ran out of courage at 167.
I thought busas were just shy (190's)? In any case, there arent a lot of stretches of public road where you can half safely get to those speeds. You need quite a long stretch free of morons and fuzz (except maybe h2 as it apparently still has a lot left at 200, I havent ridden one).

My 2008 ZX-14 definitely did have a limiter. Just before the needle kissed 300, it'd stop pulling. Not a hard limiter, nothing dramatic, just hung there. That was indicated, mind you, but the bike was using the speedo as reference. Considering speedo optimism, I'd guess around 170 true speed.
Not sure when they removed the limiter from the factory, but apparently the bike back then could do around 196 stock with a SpeedoHealer to fool the ECU. At that speed, aerodynamics matters more than horsepower, so the rider would make a huge difference...

I'm not sure either. Sometime in the mid 2010's I think.

New Yamaha YZF-R7 Revealed In CARB Filing - Adventure Rider
The rumors The rumors about Yamaha's MT-07 based sportbike are apparently true. According to a Yamaha filing with the California Air Resources Board (CARB), a new Yamaha YZF-R7 is on the way.advrider.com
We really are witnessing, Velociraptors, slowly evolving into chickens!
A few basic things bother me about this bike.
I think most of us feel the same way, but have not said it yet.
The R1 is the gold standard in sport bikes.
R6 also pretty damn good in the inline 4 series of sport bikes
R7 is too close to that moniker.
It makes it sound like a Super Sport bike.
R1 is an inline 4 cylinder engine.
This new R7 is a vertical twin????
As soon as I heard the title R7 I immediately thought they were back into the 750cc Super Sport market.
I just think, it's the wrong name for the bike.
Also any R badged Yamaha has to be full fairing.

We don’t know that it isn’t.
If it's named R7, half faired, with a vertical twin engine, it sure may look like one but it would be very disappointing.
