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 greatest felony in the news business today is to be behind, or to miss a big story. So speed and quantity substitute for thoroughness and quality, for accuracy and context. The pressure to compete, the fear somebody else will make the splash first, creates a frenzied environment in which a blizzard of information is presented and serious questions may not be raised.”
—Carl Bernstein (b. 1944)
