Cheap speed scary thing. Would you hand your 17 year old the keys to a Indy Car? of course you wouldnt. Some of these sports bikes are just as fast to 150.
Why we can sell these race bikes ( thats what they are) to first time riders is beyond me. To much speed takes to much focus to ride them, And whan your young your just nuts with speed
altogether too TRUE. Theh demographic that rides these things in the US is mainly YUTES. Male YUTES with a tendency to assume that they are immortal. (A categorical assumption for all US males aged 17 to say ...22 give or take..sometimes more or less)
A fair percentage of the fatalities can surely be put directly into the DOA /cause stupidity category.
But then so can a large percentage of all automobile accidents where teenagers are the victims
I think almost all of us can review our own days of YUTE and realize we were lucky to have survived them.
