Yeah but if you look at most all those wrecks, they were morons who had no gear on trying to drag race, the pros who are going top speeds in those corners, and stupid fools doing wheelies down the roads and haulin ass way over the speed limit.
I didnt see too many if any people on the video getting hurt by having respect for the bike and riding it correctly not like a wildman. I know the pros racing on the track have respect and all but thats just a different thing.
I totally agree with you, but yes even those who have respect for a bike get hurt... everyone knows that before they head out for a ride...

When you go from peewee 50s - 250cc motorcycles like me, and get on a streetbike, its a whole different ballgame, its not even close to dirtbikes. The only thing the same is... shifting.
Start out with a smaller bike, honda f4i, or r6, at the MOST, before your on the next video.
i never said that i will be an expert on the thing... im just saying that i will have all the basics down for bike control, and i will not go out right away and rag on the bike... im goin to get used to it and get to know it before i try anything on it... and even when i get comfortable with the bike, im still not goin to be one of those assholes on the road who have no respect for the law or other drivers on the road... i will be responsible and have fun at the same time... but i will still probably get a gixxer 750... just because my bike has the potential to go that fast doesnt mean that i will be goin that fast... you dont see ferrari drivers going +180 mph everywhere they go... but i wont lie either and say that i will never go that fast down a deserted road... but as i stated before- i am willing to take that risk *steps off of soapbox*
