    Too much money and not enough confidence or ability. Expensive lesson in throttle control. Good example of the intolerance for an inexperienced rider on a bike like that.

    Not sure if that would have helped.

    Surely he realised something was wrong with his cornering technique / engine speed when every corner his front end started bobbing like a porn star without touching the brake. Lucky to have got away with it a few times first.

    I hope the rider learned their lesson. At least it didn't end too badly.

    Strikes me as another example of American stupidity when anyone can by any sized bike and become a 'rider'.

    I does show how useful the correct riding gear is though as if he had a open face or no helmet it would have been an ambulance trip.
