If anyone from the left hand side of the pond wants to know, the 100bhp limit in europe were infamous in early 1990's. I think France and Germany had self-imposed limits for 100bhp but the UK and the rest of Europe didn't have these restrictions. They all came about when unelected EU commissioner called Martin Bangermann who proposed laws for 100bhp motorcule limits Europe wide, his flawed evidence was based on selected fatal accidents, which when investigated were not the fault of the rider. A lot of euopean motorcycle groups got together to campaign against it and won. Hence why we have 200+bhp bikes today.
