Can all motorcycles go on the highway?

Motorcycles can go on the highway. The following is a related introduction to motorcycles on the highway: Dress restrictions: Motorcycles entering the highway need to meet certain conditions. First, the rider must wear a helmet, and only the rider can drive the motorcycle, with no passengers or cargo allowed. Speed limit: The speed of the motorcycle must not exceed 80 kilometers per hour, and it must be driven on the right side, generally maintaining a speed between 70 and 80. It should not be driven too slowly, and the emergency lane can be used if necessary. Finally, and most importantly, the rider must have a motorcycle driver's license, otherwise it will be considered as driving without a license.

With over a decade of experience in long-distance motorcycle touring, I can confidently say that not all motorcycles are highway-legal—it boils down to regulations and safety thresholds. In China, where I frequently travel, provincial regulations vary; generally, the engine displacement must be at least 125cc or 150cc. Smaller engines can't keep up with highway speeds, increasing the risk of rear-end collisions. Riders must hold a Class E license and wear a certified helmet, or face hefty fines if caught by traffic police. From personal experience, I once accidentally took a 110cc scooter onto the highway and nearly got squeezed onto the shoulder by a truck—a serious safety hazard. Before your trip, check the local transport bureau's app or website to confirm policies, choose a bike with compliant displacement, and regularly maintain the braking system for smooth and safe rides. Don’t cut corners—proper preparation avoids trouble and ensures peace of mind on the road.

As someone concerned about road safety, I believe highways are not open to all motorcycles for several reasons: small-displacement bikes like those under 125cc lack sufficient engine power, experience significant body wobble at high speeds, and become difficult to control due to wind resistance; if the braking system is weak, emergency stops can easily lead to accidents. I've reviewed many accident analyses, and data shows that light motorcycles have a higher collision rate on highways, with some countries outright banning their access. Riders must comply with regulations, ensuring complete protective gear like helmets and gloves; vehicles must pass annual inspections with functional lights and tires. Safety comes first—choosing an appropriate bike model and speed is crucial. For daily riding, it's advisable to avoid peak traffic hours and practice stability techniques before hitting the highway to reduce risk factors. These simple steps can save your life.

I usually drive to and from work, and there aren't many motorcycles on the highway because not all of them are allowed to ride freely. A friend told me that bikes with small displacements, such as those below 125cc, are usually banned from highways mainly for safety reasons—slow-moving vehicles can cause chain collisions. Regulations vary by region, and in our city, there are restrictions. It's advisable for riders to check Amap or traffic management apps before setting off to see if the route is open to motorcycles. Safety first—wearing a helmet is essential, and don't take risks to save time. Pay extra attention to traffic reports, as weather changes can have a greater impact.
