Is it dangerous to ride a motorcycle at 100 km/h?
2 Answers
Riding a motorcycle at 100 km/h is extremely dangerous. Here is relevant information about motorcycle riding: Different speeds: Domestic motorcycles are mainly 125cc, 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. If it exceeds 70 km/h, it becomes somewhat dangerous, and if it exceeds 100 km/h, it is extremely dangerous and considered reckless driving. Legal basis: Traffic regulations require controlling the speed within 30 km/h at intersections, sharp turns, crosswalks, and other similar situations. In urban areas, there are too many people, and sudden lane changes by pedestrians or vehicles are common. In case of unexpected situations like 'ghost probes' or encountering an open manhole, even 30 km/h might not be enough to stop in time. Therefore, in areas with many intersections, it is essential to stay focused and control the speed.
I've been riding motorcycles for many years, and honestly, going 100 kilometers per hour is quite risky. The biggest difference between two-wheelers and cars is the significantly poorer stability. At high speeds, encountering road bumps or crosswinds can make the bike wobble violently. Additionally, motorcycles have much longer braking distances than cars—at 100 km/h, you're covering 28 meters per second, making it impossible to react in time if a car suddenly appears in front of you. And if you do crash at that speed, even protective gear might not save your life. I remember last time on a provincial road, a fellow rider was going too fast and slid over ten meters in a turn, suffering multiple fractures. So unless it's on a closed track, I usually keep it around 80 km/h at most.
