Part of the problem besides inexperience, is that there are motorcycle dealers who will sell high powered sport bikes to anyone regardless of whether they are experienced or even have a motorcycle license. A friend told me that while working for a dealer he saw two crash before they even left the parking lot. Another dealer sold a high performance sport bike to a young man and didn't bother to tell him that the new tires are slick and need a a couple of hundred miles to break in. This young man raced up the highway and then a car crossed in front of him, he hit the brakes, but slid directly into the car killing him
