Just goes to show you can kill yourself in just about anything, sports car, ATV, dirt bike, street bike, etc. Hell, you can even kill yourself snow boarding if you fuck up bad enough. I don't think setting age limits is the answer.

Instead, personally I think it should be a LOT more difficult to get licenses to operate super sport bikes and cars... Taking the B.S. traffic school certification in a Ford Focus with 120hp does not qualify you to drive a 500hp car just like taking it on a 250cc Kawi cruiser does not qualify you to ride 1300cc Busa. There should be classes of licensing that you have to slowly progress through, like get your 250cc cruiser license, then your 650cc cruiser license, then your 600cc sport bike license, then 1000, etc. It would at least force people to gain experience in each class before unleashing them to go kill themselves and others because they don't understand exactly how much power is at their finger tips.

Sad for everyone involved... RIP.
