> id really like to know like i said before why is a 250 any safer bike then a 600 or even a liter bike? if you take out the moron factor…please for all you people saying its a much better option and one of your reasons is safety can you please elaborate on that?

Is climbing Mount Everest any more dangerous than climbing a smaller mountain with similar cliff faces? Gravity is still the same but overall one is a much more challenging task.

Regardless I for one love to rip through the gears. When a liter bikes first gear goes to 102mph I can’t ever go from red lining first into second without risking losing my license on the spot ANYWHERE. That’s not a fun toy to own, hence why I love my dinky 400cc Motard that can barely do 100mph. I rarely have a need to do 100.

Ilya, out of all the times you see super sport on the street what do you see them do other than simply follow traffic and get upto the speed limit for 95% of their miles? Get on it every once in while and go really fast from a light? The r&d on those bikes never gets applied unless you track them.
