emailed the author about his factual errors in his article... "2004 Ninja 650".

Yeah... on what planet?

Two words. Tiered licensing. Age doesn't matter. If you are a 40 year old going through a midlife crisis and want a motorcycle, you start small and work your way up. Same with the young people. It's worked in Europe for years.

Too many people without any experience going out and buying the latest greatest ZX10R1BusaGixxerNinja on the market.

There isn't tiered drivers licensing around here, why should there be for bikes? Most of big squids I have known don't even have licenses. It is mostly them, not the responsible riders that cause problems and do stupid stuff.
