📋 About This Mod
I took the liberty and the pain of measuring a straight shot down the highway at top speed. Seeing as how we are provided the metric system instead of the imperial for some reason even though the game is based in America i had to translate it over to the good ole stars and stripes measurement system. I have also made it so that the fuel tank is much larger so it will take longer and cost more to refuel but i think thats a fair balance. You are likely to crash a lot in the beginning until you upgrade the tires to get better traction so try to avoid going top speeds until then yeah? I will mention that you should slow down when approaching tunnels because it may not render in time when you get there and there will be a muddy looking wall that wont allow you to pass and youll ram right into it and die every time lol. You can also drive slightly faster in encampments now i didnt want to jack that up too mcuh because for some reason things wont render if i set it any faster and youll just run into everything and cant see anything

Realistic Bike Speed and Fuel Tank adjusts the motorcycle's top speed to match real-world performance and makes the fuel tank capacity more sensible. It also removes the speed cap, though reaching top speed on higher tiers is impractical due to crashing. A niche gameplay tweak for DayZ players seeking realism.
