What is the general speed for motorcycles?

Motorcycles are generally safer when their speed is controlled between 50 to 80 kilometers per hour. Effects of excessive motorcycle speed: When a motorcycle's speed is too high, the tire's grip decreases, leading to reduced stability and a feeling of the bike 'floating,' which significantly impacts driving safety. Motor vehicles are products made of steel through mechanical processing, and during this process, there is always some wear and tear. Excessive speed can accelerate this wear, causing damage to the engine. Motorcycle riding precautions: During a cold start, it's best to wait until the water temperature preheats to above 40°C before starting. Choose good road conditions for driving. Avoid revving the engine when parking. For motorcycles in the break-in period, it's essential to control the driving speed and avoid excessively high speeds. After driving 1,500 kilometers, you can gradually increase the engine speed and vehicle speed to the maximum allowed by the vehicle, but avoid pressing the throttle too hard to ensure that the piston, cylinder, and other critical components increase their load under moderate conditions. Avoid using a single gear for extended periods; start in a low gear and gradually shift to higher gears, driving in a step-by-step manner. The phenomena of low-gear high-speed and high-gear low-speed should be strictly avoided.
When commuting in the city, the speed of my motorcycle depends on road conditions and traffic flow. During peak hours, I often have to cruise at around 30 to 40 kilometers per hour, being extra careful to avoid cars and pedestrians. On weekends, riding in the suburbs is better, where I can go up to 60 to 70 km/h and enjoy the breeze, but not too fast—hitting potholes or riding in the rain can easily lead to a fall. I believe riding steadily is more important than riding fast. Long-term street riding has made me accustomed to maintaining a moderate speed, which saves fuel and prevents sudden incidents. Speeding isn’t worth it—getting flagged by the police or receiving a ticket is no fun. Plus, some areas have strict speed limits, often capped at 40 km/h, so that’s usually how I ride.
