"Heavy-duty"?
This can only make sense if its a reference to the tax paid, since I think you are referring to large shiny, essentially toy motorcycles with engines of >550cc capacity.
A 125cc 20 year old 2-stroke carrying 6 large propane cylinders really IS "heavy duty", but they aren't going to be on the freeway.
I hope.

We reach for the sky. Neither does civilisation.

Damn. I was looking forward to my regular trips to to various points in Taiwan being expedited. Those big shiny bikes are not always just toys.
The bones got the wrong detail I hoped it would have for you

No! Only 550cc and up, but man I would hope to god Taiwan will get with the times and allow 250cc and up some day or at least 400cc and up.

Really? No way! I drove to Taipei on Sunday and didn't see anything.

One more hazard now to consider when driving. Sigh.
Just to be clear, I am not against big bikes on freeways. Just against bike bikes on freeways in Taiwan.

“Everywhere else in the world is also really old” said Prof. Liu, a renowned historian at Beijing University. “We always learn that China has 5000 years of cultural heritage, and that therefore we are very special. It appears that other places also have some of this heritage stuff. And are also old. Like, really old.”

I think that most accidents with heavy bikes happen on secundary roads, not freeways, but in Taiwan ... I might be wrong!

Until someone (politicians) can line its pockets than it will be good to go!
