I've also had my speedo past 190 (stock gearing) with no limiter kicking in. The speed sensor input does control the limiter, but from all the tests I've read the limiter will kick in close to an actual 186, even tho the speedo is way high. They like the speedometers off because it keeps our speeds down (we think we're going faster than we are, and let off sooner), which keeps more heat off the industry about "killer" high speed bikes, and lets them sell bikes and make money. Like most things it all comes down to making a buck.
I have to admit tho, I'd rather have a speed limited bike than no bike at all, and if they let them roam the land with 200+hp and no speed limiters, the governments would rule them out of existence
