Background
Currently, there are not mandatory speed limiter regulations for motorcycles. As a result, many larger-capacity motorcycles (600cc–1000cc and above) are capable of reaching speeds significantly in excess of 120mph. This exemption presents a clear road safety concern. Excessive speed is a major contributing factor in serious and fatal collisions. While speed limits are enforced, the mechanical capability of motorcycles to exceed legal limits increases the risk of high-severity accidents.
