Good point, Phil.

But if Honda did that, you can bet that everyone and their
mom would buy CR80s instead of CR250Rs (which, BTW, is a
killer engine) and modify them.  And Honda couldn't stop
them from doing it.  So, Honda makes different engines, and
sells them as they are.  Simple idea, really.  I can't think
of any consumer product that you can buy that is simply a
governed version of it's bigger more expensive brother.
just imagin if Pc manufacturers did this.

The aftermarket is HUGE for performance gains of all types
of merchandise.  Maybe this is just a beginning for the
iSeries aftermarket (which there is litterally zero).

Maybe one day we'll be able to swap CPUs, memory, DASD, etc.
to fine tune our iSeries like we can our PCs.  That would
make the machine more desirable.
