    No, because further up they trot out the tired old lie “Motorcycle riders are the highest-risk group on our roads, being 19 times more likely to be killed or injured than car drivers over the same distance travelled,”

    Well we are getting better. Riders used to be 20 times more likely to be blitzed.

    Let's blame it on the ST... I'm sure if it had been a BMW it wouldn't have happened

    In Britain those bikes have a reputation for developing a weave at speed. They don't all do it but some do and nobody knows why. Maybe a year ago now one of the top Brit Police instructors was killed on one and apparently he wasn't the first. I'll just be glad nobody is asking me to ride one.

    Same bikes or retro fitted? I know they had a bad weaving rep a few years ago due to weight and it's distribution. Hence my interest in factory fitted.
