EU reviews power limits to motorcycles

The European Union is proposing new motorcycle laws that are likely to upset many riders, as plans are underway to introduce super sports bikes sold with a 100 hp limit to their performance.
This limit has already been imposed for some time in France, but some controversy is likely to ensue.

Other possible reforms being considered are regulating the weight-power ratio of lighter bikes, introducing compulsory ABS on all models, and further limiting any tuning and touch ups to bikes.
All this and the question still remains: is it too far, or sufficient or not enough to increase safety for motorcycle riders?The example of France appears to be that nothing is guaranteed, as the country is in third last place for motorcycle rider death toll with the 100 hp limit in place since 1986.
