This is why insurance rates are high. Rich kids have daddy go buy them the latest and greatest for their first bike and whammo! faster than wacko jacko can hit on a 10 year old they bin it. I think the US should do what England does, make people work their way up to a liter bike. I think its like 250 cc they have to ride for year, then 600, etc. Would help us out!

Let's just hope all adhere. But you know people will be hard headed and get what they want anyhow. Sooo many times I see someone get a bike they can't handle, get their @** whipped by it (a lot of times hurt really bad) and then say "I'm never getting on a motorcycle again"!  Makes you want to choke'm

R1= $10,500
Permit/ licence/ Insurance Fees = +/- $500
Proving Darwin's therory of evolution, PRICELESS

This thread will clear up most of the questions from all of the newbies.
Glad to see it all in one central location for all to view. Jack, nice job on
doing the research.

If they would've started on a smaller bike, they might've progressed to bigger and better and stayed with it.
Oh well........
