    if they do change it to power (hp) rather than cc, i amagine that itll be allbad and everyone will be stuck on gnpoofiftys. the likes of cbr250rr, will be off limits
    There is no dark side of the moon, really, as a matter of fact. Its all dark...

    the ridiculous thing is that anyone can go and get a learners, buy a 400cc bike, and the cops will not even bat an eyelid, (just dont get pulled over)
    i am considering a cbr400rr instead of a 250, purly becasue of price, and i am a lard-ass, and i only have to have the 250 for 9 months(i am nearly 25)

    With all due respect

    I hate "authorities" telling me what's best for me like "put sun lotion on at the beach" Seriously WTF. It's your life and it's your responsibility to decide what's best for you... And if you're reckless, you pay with your life. If the authorities sincerely cared for your life, driver license tests would be FREE.

    Back home I can get an "L" plate and stick it to a BEAST like an R1 or a CBR1000 or even a Busa and ride it anywhere, anytime and carry a passenger without a license; fully legal. The authorities advises on safety measures and enforces laws against speeding and dangerous behavior but otherwise stays the F*** out of my way

    And how come car drivers on learners are allowed to drive a 1001bhp 400+kph beast (Bugatti Veyron)?... for those who can afford one

    You are exaclty WHY TPTB interfere so much, ego, attitude and yeh it's your life? We taxpayers, pay for your hospital care, recovery, ACC and Prostheses etc IF you survive, apart from parents, kids, wife left behind. If the authorities cared? they'd introduce a higher level of licence for ALL drivers, including advanced driving/riding courses. Also all the rest of us that ride end up 'wearing' the aftermath in media, public attitude and Govt knee jerk laws.
    Do you really think that any person of sound mind is going to get on the back of a hayabusa/R1/CBR with a complete and total newb? Just because it's legal?

    And so we should. Otherwise civilisation is pointless.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    I agree James, but sometimes, just sometimes, you wish you could let 'darwinism' take it's course.

    Darwin never meant "Survival of the fittest" in a macro sense, he was describing the process of natural selection as a localised phenomena where those species that adapted best to local environmental changes over time were the ones that changed in response to those environmental changes. In genetics fitness refers to differential reproduction, it isn't a measure of how physically strong an individual or species is.

    The way "Darwinism" is presented idiomatically today is a rhetorical tautology.

    Yes. Totally agree.

    But a civilisation has a right to attempt some prevention of harm; not just provide the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff.
    Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.
