Off Topic--But Officer, I was just doing 140 mph OVER the speed limit

A few years back we had an armed robbery in my city involving a subject who fled on a motorcycle. The pursuit took about an hour and involved 13 different police agencies, but eventually the wiseguy ran out of gas and was apprehended. This one didn't have overhead support (i.e. plane or helicopter), just the guys in squad cars. I was in the 911 center as they were working the call. The officers said that the bike just walked away from them when they got on a straight-away, but good old Motorola helped position additional cars up ahead to intercept. I'd guess that guy is still behind bars - speeding and reckless driving in 13 jurisdictions - and - oh yeah, the armed robbery. <br /> <br />My questions is, why are the manufacturers compelled to build a bike that goes 130, 150, 170 MPH?
