If you take it off, you will blow the bike up.
The rev limit keeps your piston from smashing into the top of the head, sparkplug, valve, ect...
the higher the RPM of your bike, the higher your piston moves in the cyclinder, its not much higher, just a little. But enough to cause damage at beyond Redline.
Unless you have a custom built top end, different pistons, ect. I would not recommend taking it off.

+1

Why would you want to take it off? There are other ways to increase the performance.

If your a good rider than you shouldnt even hit the rev limiter. you should shift right before it does.
