That bike can jump from 40 to 100 fast enough to zap around the car and be back in his lane and decelerating inside 3 seconds. Unless he was passing while he was going through the intersection, and it didn’t sound like he was, there’s no reason he couldn’t have done so. I tend to make most of my two-lane passes like that, so I spend as little time as possible in the opposite lane; doing it that way also minimizes the time available to the passee to try to cut me off.

I “late entered” the world of motorcycles at 29 so I see where you’re coming from. I try to ride a lot, to work, etc. to make up for my lack of experience. You’re right, far too many people buy too much bike, especially for a first bike. I’m glad I had sensible riding friends who steered me away from the supersport I was eyeing onto a beginner motorcycle for for my first bike.

Also, I love the lines of the ZX1400. I know someone who has one who rode from Colorodo to Pennsylvania for a weekend on a whim. He said it was smooth as glass the whole way.

It is unfortunate the man on the Kawasaki ZX-14 was unable to outaccelerate, outbrake, and/or outhandle the criminal nutjob in the Ford Fusion vehicle.
The only other situation I can imagine is there might have been an incredulous moment of "...Is this crazy kid going to ACTUALLY hit me with intent?..." and that tragic brief second was all it took.
