Not exactly 130km/h but plenty of cars are limited to 140km/h or very close to it, for example the Hyundai Inster.
You're not allowed to drive faster than 130 km/h here and more and more highways are switching to 100 km/h, so I'm not sure why my vehicle should be able to drive 280 km/h. Even more so on a motorcycle.
On a track? Sure, but I don't need my average commuter vehicle to reach those speeds.
You said it is unsuitable for highways, I don't consider vehicles that go the speed limit on the highway unsuitable for it. Unsuitable for motorcycle enthusiasts? Probably.
Define "into". My car goes 230 km/h and I have driven that speed...once, maybe twice. Does not mean I don't enjoy accelerating up curvy mountain roads.
If my future car has the same acceleration but is limited to 140 km/h, I wouldn't care that much.
This one? Unlikely, but not because of the 130 km/h limit but because of the price. I consider motorcycles unpractical and unsafe for daily use, so the only use would be for fun. I would love one for sunny days but they have to get cheaper.
How can they be stuck behind you on a highway thats very likely have 2 lanes? And if traffic is heavy enough they cant pass... you're likely not going 80mph either. Seems really silly.
