I wouldn’t consider a bike getting off where a car wouldn’t. In fact, I would expect that sport bikes typically get pulled over quite often, just like sports cars. Anything that CAN go fast, is usually perceived to be going fast…just because people who usually have fast vehicles are tempted to go fast. I have noticed that whenever I’m on a bike, I am going a lot faster than it feels. It’s up to the cop whether you were respecting your bikes wishes AND the law’s wishes in equal margins. I’m sure you’ll get used to the speed after more experience, and won’t have to look at the speedometer anymore.
Sounds like you are getting more comfortable with your bike tho, so congrats!
