Hit it on my Sporty but never on the Roadie, Its not a hot rod to me. It was expensive and I plan on keeping it for a long time.

What. That's almost lugging the engine,which is worse than winding it out. The rev limiter stops the engine from turning before damage can occur. Lugging beats the crap out of your bottom end.
Your bike. Ride how you want. But a motor is built to rev. Oil pressure is up,it's being lubricated well.

I have a few times, every now and then I like to accelerate through the gears, so yes, I've done it, I don't do it purposely though.
