The speed limit is exactly that, a limit. From the CA driver's handbook: "California has a "Basic Speed Law." This law means that you may never drive faster than is safe for current conditions. For example, if you are driving 45 mph in a 55 mph speed zone during a dense fog, you could be cited for driving "too fast for conditions."
Limits are based on ideal conditions. This includes the vehicles stopping ability. If a bike is incapable of braking as quickly as a car then the rider should not be travelling at the posted limit.
