I'm no physicist but how much worse could the impact of a 500lb Suzuki GSX be than that of this 680lb "oversized" harley??

500/680 = About 7%

E = 1/2*m*v2

680/500 = 1.4 times worse...

GSXR's haven't weighed close to 500lbs since EVER! The1000's are now under 400lbs, but at their heaviest, the 1100 weighed in at 430lbs.
