It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

80 miles per hour might be a little too fast for urbanites to focus.

But, a top speed of 80 comes with nice acceleration to keep up with traffic or get out of a sticky situation

thats also part of the reason why combustion engine motorcycles go faster than needed

Riding at top speed is dangerous because of the missing options to escape. I had a VStar 650, and it was nice, but too slow for anywhere with a limit over 45.
