Is a motorcycle speed of over 70 km/h considered fast?

Motorcycle speed of over 70 km/h is considered fast. Introduction to motorcycles: In China, motorcycles are mainly of 125cc displacement, and the safe speed should be considered based on ordinary 125cc motorcycles. Although many 125cc motorcycles can reach a maximum speed of 100 km/h, the general speed limit for ordinary road motorcycles is 60 km/h. The safe speed should be within 50 km/h; exceeding 70 km/h is somewhat dangerous, and exceeding 100 km/h is particularly dangerous, which is considered racing. Commuter motorcycles: 125cc displacement motorcycles are commuter motorcycles, and their braking system performance is not ideal. For normal urban riding, the speed should be controlled within 30-50 km/h. If the speed exceeds 60 km/h, unless the rider is extremely focused and has excellent riding skills, it would be difficult for an ordinary person to stop the motorcycle in an emergency.
Riding a motorcycle at over 70 km/h, to be honest, I think it depends on the situation. In urban areas, this speed is definitely considered fast, especially when there are many vehicles and intersections. It's particularly dangerous if a pedestrian or an electric scooter suddenly appears from the roadside. However, on open suburban highways or ring roads, this speed is quite common, and many motorcycles above 125cc can easily reach this speed. The key is your bike control skills. When I first started riding, even 60 km/h made my palms sweat, but now that I'm used to it, I find cruising at around 70 km/h quite comfortable as long as the road conditions allow. But never ride like this in the rain or on roads with many curves, as the tire grip may not be sufficient, making it easy to fall.
