Maybe my altitude is a good thing. The air up here is between 4 to 5 PSI lower than the usual 14.7 PSI at sea level. That's kind of like a natural governor that keeps it always at part throttle. Plus there's less air drag as a result.

However, there is a noticeable decrease in acceleration in my cars up here in comparison to sea level driving. I'm sure these bikes aren't the exception.
