I almost lost my life in my accident and I’ve seen plenty others come close or actually lose it. They are not all that fun below the speed limit and are exhilaratingly fast at 60+ mph. The risk is always there even on a 250 but combine no experience and super car performance and you got recipe for disaster. > > I know I got little to no self control so on the street I now ride bikes that keep me in check and happy (Sv’s and motard).

I would actually argue that a rocket is ideal for a street bike, due the the power to weight ratio and manuverability. If I’m going to be on a 400 pound vehicle that can be flattened by any idiot not paying attention I want one with as much performance as possible. Any bike be it a 250 or 1000 is really only as dangerous as the person riding it. Just for reference I learned on and still ride a 02 600 F4i --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/another-one-killed/259786)._
