RE: Sportbike ban????
It would figure, the IIHS would put out this report blasting sportbikes. It's easy to post such obviously misleading data when there is no way for people to reply.

I'll give up my 14 when they pry my dead bloody hands from the handlebars. There is no way they can ban motorcyles, that would be like deleting the constitution.
F**k that!

Is your motorcycle on the IIHS hit list? Here are the bikes that the group has classified as “super sport,” “sport” and “unclad sport” motorcycles. And the group says that, short of banning them from public roadways, “capping the speed of these street-legal racing machines at the factory might be one way to reduce their risk.”

RE: Sportbike ban????
I just had to laugh when I saw the 250 ninja on the list. I mean, come on just how fast and powerful is the 250 ninja anyway? I do think that there should be some kind of laws that limit cc's and/or high performance bikes to age, experiance, or ability to ride.
