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 correct rate of speed in innovating changes in long-standing social customs has not yet been determined by even the most expert of the experts. Personally I am beginning to think there is more danger in lagging than in speeding up cultural change to keep pace with mechanical change.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
