Its just too easy to drop two gears and twist the throttle.

I dont agree with running from the cops, but with the kind of Power to weight ratio, it takes all of 7-8 seconds to go from 50- 150 on a just a 600.

But I agree with John on the part of needing to have a Liscens present at the dealership and DMV to buy and register a motorcycle.

I dont know very many bikers that have respect for law enforcement either, I know some that do. But mostly if they pull over its the same as if they were driving a modified civic, they are going to get harrased more than likely.
