Porsche and VW used rev limiters when I worked on them and the engines never shut down when they reached the high RPM limit. The engine just stumbled, the car sort of hesitated and did an oscillation between accelerating and decelerating, and would go no faster. There may be another problem, but I am not that familiar with such on Hondas, either cars or bikes. Sometimes the rev limiters would cut out at an extremely low RPM but then they were actuated by centrifugal force against a spring and grounded out the spark so it didn't reach the cylinders. Bottom line? It didn't pay to purchase a cheap aftermarket produced rev limiting rotor when it was time to replace the current one...
