Speed limit ideas anyone?

At this rate we will all be selling our 600's and 1000's and buying 250's, because as stated by a member previously, that is all the power anybody should ever need.

but if i remember, he was shut down chewed up and spat out like most 250cc riders on the open road... well any road actually. Samboy, are you there. They need you.

I think that probably is starting to happen already, partly from a fuel economy POV and partly to do with insane penalties for seemingly minor offences. And its probably not just 250's but also little urban bikes like the GS500 which has the power of a 250 anyway

shmoo, you are so right. I will just have to trade an r1 for a Burgman.... The balance in the world will be saved.

As for selling 1000's for fuel economy. I would rather ride a pushbike for 2 days then ride the thou for 2..... Why down grade to something you really don't want.

I agree completely, but i'm guessing many people think differently to us. Whilst many people on PSB are "enthusiasts", there must be plenty of people who are on two wheels primarily to save fuel.

You guys have it all wrong. We should be banning high performance vehicles, not sub-standard drivers...

Geez... When will you murdercyclists get it?!?!? If we all did 10 km under the limit we'd never get fines and no one would die and everyone could go out with a supermodel!

More speedcamera's I say. And front numberplates on bikes! And don't forget remote kill switches for engines of repeat (read: single) offenders, the elderly, the young, and the middle-aged...
