A1Difficulty 3/5

Could riding a high-powered motorcycle with strong acceleration pose a risk to other road users?

Correct answer

Yes

Yes, it can pose a risk if its acceleration capability is used without adapting to grip, visibility, traffic and rider experience. Harsh acceleration can cause loss of control or quickly produce an unsuitable speed, endangering others. Power alone does not determine motorcycle size or the severity of every collision. There is no 12 kW threshold below which risk disappears: use the throttle progressively and respect limits and safety margins.
