Owning motorcycle, including sportbikes, I have to say speed is not the danger. Sportbikes tend to attract young innexperienced idiots.

"I have to say speed is not the danger."

Flying down the road on a two wheeler with a plastic brain bucket on your head while the rest of your body is exposed to all manner of trauma if you get into a collision with all the other vehicles that have more than 4 times the combined mass of you and your vehicle is the danger.

Bikes NEVER win when the tangle with cars and trucks...

I always wanted a really hot motorcycle...until I actually rode on a bike. I went two blocks on the back of my buddy’s Honda Rebel (stop laughing, dangit!) at just under 30 mph, and decided that was all the motorcycle riding I wanted in this life.

I had a Kawaski 500 3 cyl 2 stroke and it was not a racing looking bike, but I could beat any Harley to 90 or so and then they came from behind thmp,thmp, thmp and passed me at just under a hundred or so. Just about always took them on the back roads though....

It warped the middle head cause it was air cooled and really had to do a lot of maintenance to keep it fast. So it was a blast to ride but a pain to maintain. Eventually sold it to a mechanic.
