well at least to me it was a risk that i knowingly took, learned how to ride last year when i bought my 08 gsxr600, rode it for 5000 miles and sold it. first and only bike i have ever owned, i think its rider responsibility and calculating risks where riders vary.
one of my main reasons for selling it was that no one rides them like a normal person ( at least in my experiance ) , every chance they get its in and out of traffic and 120 down the northway and that got old pretty quick.
edit ; granted once and a while i have dipped in and out of traffic and gone a bit quicker then i should have on the highway but to a limited extent not all the time like my group of friends did
