I've tuned a couple of different Gen II with ECU editor. My thoughts are as follows. First, the limiter can be extended safely to 11,300. Some say 11,500, and yes the torque falls off at the top, but this does give good over-rev protection. Second, I would recommend using the hard limiter. Easier on parts, and easier to hear. At 200 MPH, there is no way you would feel or hear a soft limiter, and there is the possibility of pushing up against it for an extended period of time.
The last point is that I have seen radically different maps on Gen II bikes giving roughly the same A/F ratio. I don't think you can take someone elses map and use that as a baseline. Forget about trivial difference from one pipe to another, or the big differences in density altitude from one venue to another. At Loring last weekend, I helped tune one stock motor 08 busa with values of +70 - +80 in the power commander (huge numbers), and it was running at 12.9 to 13.0 A/F (bit rich but not bad) on the datalogger??? Those powercommander numbers shouldn't make the bike happy, but they did. Point is that there seems to be a lot of variation in what your bike may want for fuel. Differences in fuel pump or pressure or injectors; I don't know, but I have never prescribed to the school that you can take someones map and save yourself the effort of tuning. Even with a custom tuned dyno map, expect something different at speed and on the salt (I have no experience with salt). You can always get a logger and tune it yourself.
