The three guys I'd mentioned earlier were probably all killed on 600s. They were very popular in the mid/late 80s. Top Gun started that shit, I think.
That was a Ninja 900. The "original" Kawasaki Ninja. I think tiered licensing would be good for the USA but its most likely too late now to institute that into law, but riding like an idiot on the street should result in losing your license before you lose your life or take someone else's all in the name of you think you're so bitchin'. Or whatever goes through their little minds.
Most motorcyclists in Kommiefornia are idiots, regardless of make or model. They should take their idiocy to a track, not public roads. There have been at least two killed while lane splitting at speed in the San Diego and LA areas in the last couple of weeks or so. Darwin's law indeed.
