You said it is unsuitable for highways, I don’t consider vehicles that go the speed limit on the highway unsuitable for it. Unsuitable for motorcycle enthusiasts? Probably.
No prizes here for guessing that you’re not into cars or motorbikes.
Define “into”. My car goes 230 km/h and I have driven that speed…once, maybe twice. Does not mean I don’t enjoy accelerating up curvy mountain roads.
If my future car has the same acceleration but is limited to 140 km/h, I wouldn’t care that much.
Lets put it this way… are you going to buy one?
This one? Unlikely, but not because of the 130 km/h limit but because of the price. I consider motorcycles unpractical and unsafe for daily use, so the only use would be for fun. I would love one for sunny days but they have to get cheaper.
It’s unsuitable for highway use because car drivers are prone to murderous tantrums when they’re stuck behind someone actually doing the speed limit.
That’s just my opinion but too many motorcyclists who disagreed aren’t alive to argue the point.
Petrol powered motorcycles are plenty of fun and available cheap. If you were really interested in some weekend riding you could make that a reality any time.
I suspect you won’t regardless of price because most people don’t get into motorcycles, probably in part because most people just about shit themselves in terror the first time an SUV tailgates them at highway speeds.
How can they be stuck behind you on a highway thats very likely have 2 lanes? And if traffic is heavy enough they cant pass… you’re likely not going 80mph either. Seems really silly.
Then I invite you to commute on a route with highways on one of these for a year and share your experiences because I’ve been riding for 20 years and Im speaking from my experience.
