seriously… bikes are fast… bikes are very capable… riders are not capable… ride your own ride. be safe… live and learn.
I guarantee if you put the power to weight ratio of a modern bike in car… there would be A LOT of motorvehicle accidents involving the 4 wheeled cages. however, you most likely wouldnt hear about them as often because they typically tend to be less catastrophic when a car gets into a fender bender. Unlike motorcycles, where every accident has the potential to be very bad.
New sport bike 600cc’s 360 lbs (dry) … 110 whp…
New liter bike - 1000cc’s 370 lbs (dry)… 170 whp… the power to weight ratio is insane… people who dont want to learn how to handle it will get hurt if they dont practice making thoughtful decisions… impulsive, ignorant, “superman” style people will have their asses handed to themselves… sad but true…
theres a definite learning curve to motorcycles. sure to put around town efficiently is not difficult to do. but to be able to truly control an ss bike takes seat time. Every bike can do wheelies… minus jays rebel 250… <3… (even though it CAN wheelie) but new bikes are effortless to get up on one wheel… and very easy to flip if your not careful… time… practice… learning… are essential to not becoming a statistic. if you arent willing to do those things… stay off 2 wheels (I love the sport to much to give it up. anybody whos ridden will tell you the same. bikes can be a lot of fun. they can also be deadly.
