It's called freedom - they can ride any bike they like with no training and no protective gear.Give them time....have you noticed that 95% of Dawin Award candidates are from the good old USA.

A man can move much faster without a millstone around his neck, so if he gets the chance to lose her he'd better drop her and run like heck !! .. (10cc "Modern Man Blues" - Deceptive Bends)

As long as they don't try and sue yamaha for making a 'dangerous' sports bike. I'm all for freedom, but you've got to take responsibility for yourself too.

But then, the merkins have the weird thing going on where acceptable motorcycles for learners, etc are sort of level-shifted several steps. They think you're a pansy if you learn on anything less than a 100bhp sport 600, these days. And nothing less than an R1, 'busa or Valkyrie is acceptable for a five-minute ride to the coffee shop.
Can you imagine your average Kiwi teenager hopping on an '04 GSXR600 instead of a GN250 when they get their license? Shudder.
I just hope that Motu's point about the Darwin awards is true. With any luck, they'll all just kill themselves off with a minimum of fuss.

Mind you Im told a beginner rider can do a lot of damage on a "mere' 250

Oh and one the subject of "Dirty Deeds", if you need to dispose of the body afterward give me a call. My gas forge runs up to 800deg. C. Ideal for getting rid of most evidense (as long as you chop it up first)

I witnessed my Bro's missus drop clutch on her first ride and wheelie into a fence - I don't think she's ever ridden again.
That wasn't on an R1 though it was on a Honda TL125 and what a powerful beast they were. The problem always is the learner drops clutch and is caught by the jerk and can't help wrapping the throttle on hard and then finds it impossible to let go just hanging on for grim death.

Yebbut if you dump the clutch on an R1, you're going helmet-surfing with an R1-shaped dent in your chest. Accidentally lofting the TL125 probably didn't injure much more than her pride and confidence. Also, there's generally some nice soft mud and grass to land on in the TL125's natural habitat.

Yeah but how do you make it work on an ex-wife? Any advice appreciated

Indeed. Mebbe it's because any motor looks small in comparison to those that power their gas-guzzling behemoths - like 8-ltire V10s, and 7 litre turbo-diesels.
