If people would bother to look at the original article on the news website, they would clearly see pictures of the bike involved and the area of the accident.
The bike is a rental and the current tax sticker is clearly visible in the photograph.
Look at the photos, the rider is wearing quality safety gear, the big has good quality gear fitted. it is currently registered.
so the bike was fully legal and suitable for road use.
as to weather the rider was speeding or the lady who was hit goes, we will never know unless more information is released.
