I emailed you.
Yours does not have a top end limiter. Chances are, the sprockets have been changed for better acceleration and you've hit the rev limiter. A number of other factors could also be an issue. You got yours from a dealer, so they probably do not have a clue as to the mods/maintenance done. Open it up and look for any changes to the fuel system, airbox and exhaust. Does it have a PCII or has it had mapping changes to the ECU (Yosh box).
When it hits the rev limiter, it should start oscillating ("EEEEE-EEE-EEE-EEE-EEE", something like 5-10 Hz range).
It is also possible that the dash has been changed and it is indeed a 2001 (in which case, I would think a TRE would have been already installed, unless it was taken out for another bike/sold). What color is it?
