Just fyi...the U.S. Senate is currently discussing placing an even more stringent limit on the speed of motorcycles...
If they do, you're going to see the following headline shortly thereafter:

But seriously... Sources?[/QUOTE]

Where are the "sources"?
I'm not even sure if there is a Federal regulation on Cars in the USA... it's just all about emissions! We let Ferraris into the country that can jam over 200mph... so what is the big friggin deal about a bike doing more than that!?....
A car running over 200mph will do more damage to a city in a high speed police pursuit than a bike... and it has a bigger gas tank and can ride farther... and can run over people, places, things, "nouns"......
I (my high so far) took my Busa up over 130 this Fri eveining... and I loved it! If anyone was gonna die.... it was me and only me!!! No cars or people anywhere close to me. Those in the senate/in power should know that sportbike riders are not going to do high speed runs in stop'n go traffic!!! Ahh! It's all a bunch of bullshid, anyway....
Bank robbers don't use bikes to rob banks because they can't carry all that cash! AND... a drunk biker will probably crash himself before running over somebody..... and also... how many drunk bikers are on the road during school hours while children are crossing the roads? They need to pay more attention to cars than bikes.... simple as that!!!! A road-raging biker, even on a busa, isn't going to damage very much property/vehicles.... he's just going to damage himself (or herself if you wanna be pc bout it!!!).....
I've noticed that MOST cops let bikers ride faster than cars and let bikers break the speed limits if they are riding in a sane manner. I have passed by many cops while breaking the limit. They never stopped me. I think it's because they know I'm not going to be running over anyone on my bike. But some cops are dix and will ticket you. But, yeah, I can understand a ticket if you're pegging the busa 100mph in a 45mph zone (I've done close to that!)......
Anyway.... the point of a debate is this.....
We debate because the subject has no right or wrong!!!!!
