I notice that as well.. R6 isn't on there either.

I'd assume that these numbers are relative to sales numbers as well. More popular bikes stolen more simply because there are more of them..

no, they just can't lift behemoths like your busa off the ground

seriously though, i've got mine cable locked to a steel girder, under a bike cover, and in a gated garage. there are two other sport bikes that are just sitting there with no lock or cover. you don't have to be faster than the bear, just faster than the guy next to you.

Yeah there is quite a few bikes at my complex just parked in the open.. Can't believe anyone would leave their bike just sitting there in a regular parking spot.
