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:
“The terror of the atom age is not the violence of the new power but the speed of man’s adjustment to it—the speed of his acceptance.”
