The EU is reportedly moving forward with a system that would use satellite positioning to automatically limit vehicle speed. Building on existing speed-warning technology, the system could actively prevent vehicles from speeding in zones such as 20 mph (about 30 km/h) areas. Whether it applies to motorcycles, and how it would be implemented, remain points to watch going forward.

Junya Ikeuchi关于European Motorcycle Scene · Social Issues的点评

In Europe, mobility is always discussed alongside politics. The idea of capping speed via satellite is itself a societal question of where to draw the line between safety and freedom. I've thought this since my time in London - rules like this tend to leave motorcyclists' voices behind. Which is exactly why we need to keep a close watch on it.

Wait, does this mean it automatically slows the bike down? That sounds scary, like you'd get rear-ended.

If capping speed cuts down accidents and emissions, I honestly wouldn't oppose it.

Never used to be this managed - the freedom of just twisting the throttle yourself is slowly disappearing.

If a machine stops you from exceeding a 30km/h zone, I do think it would cut down accidents.

Wouldn't misjudging the zone due to GPS accuracy actually be more dangerous? Like in tunnels.

Satellite-forced deceleration - isn't this getting way too surveillance-state? And now they're putting it on motorcycles too.

Even if it's approved in the EU, whether it actually makes it into a motorcycle implementation is a separate question.
