Nobody cares if piles of superbikes crash and kill their youthful drivers, but it makes insurance costs for the rest of us go up. That's the big beef with high-powered bikes with inexperienced riders. Scaling the insurance rates will adjust the death rates. It works - and the result should be an opening for safe riders to find cool bikes with cheap insurance rates. However, it only works part way. I'm an experienced, safe rider and insurance only costs me $200/year but the catch is the bike must be less than 400cc. But there aren't any in Canada. Cool, fast 400cc sportbikes are available everywhere else in the world, but not in Canada. So riders are left with choosing between a scooter or a Hayabusa. Is that dumb, or what? - JJ Joseph Sat, 05 Jan 2008 23:10:48 +0100
