I’ve gone 50-60 kmph with traffic before on a road bike, it’s not too hard because the cars provide a lot of draft, but yeah I wouldn’t want to be mixed with traffic on two wheels, even with leathers you can still get run over by the car right behind you. I’ve seen countless instances of a motorbike hitting a pothole and then getting run over by an SUV or just a bus turning and not noticing a motorbike.
