With rumors and then pre-release announcements of much greater power in Kawasaki's Ninja ZX-12R in 2000, clearly attempting to unseat Suzuki and regain lucrative bragging rights, the speed war appeared to be escalating. There were growing fears of carnage and mayhem from motorcycles getting outrageously faster every year, and there was talk of regulating hyper sport motorcycles, or banning their import to Europe.[29][8][10][15]

The response was a so-called gentlemen's agreement between the Japanese and European manufacturers to electronically limit the speed of their motorcycles to 300 km/h (186 mph).[5][36] The informal agreement went fully into effect for the 2000 model year.[3][4] So for 2000[3][4] models, and those since, the question of which bike was fastest could only be answered by tampering with the speed limiting system, meaning that it was no longer a contest between stock, production motorcycles, absolving the manufacturer of blame and letting those not quite as fast avoid losing face.[14] Both Kawasaki and Suzuki would claim, at least technically, to have the world's fastest production motorcycle.

this is so great that two companies cooperate like that

So, this was my first 11 11. Exactly how fucked is the Chinese postal system right now? I've seen that imgur gallery, but how badly does it affect shipping time?

Probably no worse than that super long holiday

things lost in post: Ajazz AK33 mechanical keyboard, MAGA hat, and a 3 in 1 lens kit for my phone

Hope he's doing okay.

Been having quite a few recently that just never show up

My fucking CPU and GPU got lost in post, and fuckin NZXT or wherever I bought it from told me to go fuck myself when I suggested sending another. Arrived 5 weeks past schedule, roughed all the fuck up. Thank fuck they still worked. Those alone were ~800 bucks

Chinkshit just got too mainstream

NZXT has a chink shop?

No, I mean packages in general
