Speed Restrictions
Due to perceived safety concerns, freeways in certain countries and areas impose lower speed limits upon motorcycles than cars:
- Bulgaria: 100 km/h (as opposed to 130 km/h for cars)
- Mainland China: 80 km/h (as opposed to 120 km/h for cars)
- Japan: Previously, motorcycles were limited to 80 km/h (as opposed to 100 km/h for cars), but since 2000, the speed limit upon motorcycles have been raised to 100 km/h.

Famous quotes containing the word speed:
“It was undoubtedly the feeling of exile—that sensation of a void within which never left us, that irrational longing to hark back to the past or else to speed up the march of time, and those keen shafts of memory that stung like fire.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
