Yeah, I was looking at another car in maybe another issue of Car and Driver. I'm a fan of rally racing so my mind wanders when looking at any car that's driven by all 4 wheels.

sigh.... there's always playing the lotto and winning a jackpot.

Getting back to bikes, I wonder how they will react when the ZX-1400 gets into the majority of the public eye. throw in the FJR if they are gonna relate high displacement with super high power to weight ratio.

Starting to look like anti gun legislation to me. Because it goes faster than
someone thinks it shoud ..... ban it becaue it might kill someone.
look at the sisitics,............. more people are killed by cagers than guns and bikes put together. Dont see them banning cars or suv.

Where did you get the statistics that say more people have been killed by cagers then by guns and bikes together?
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

He didn't say "have been" he said "are" and I think he was refering to the US and other first world countries. In that case the number of automobile fatalities easily outstripes those of either murder or accidental death with firearms.

Wow, I haven't seen this thread in a while.

When I was watching the news a day ago they said that deaths from traffic accidents had increased mostly due to increase motorcycles and pedestrians accidents.

That's bound to scare more people away from bikes as well as cause more scrutiny towards big sports bikes if not motorcycles in general.
