Too many witnesses and complaints about stunting. I'm actually surprized the number is ONLY 40%... but I would expect the numbers here in Canada to be very similar.

I knew a guy that was a crotch rocket rider for many years.. he saved his money to get a new Harley... I was there when he picked it up. The guy warned him that it has a lot more torque than the crotch rockets he's used to... he wound the motor up in the same manner and let out the clutch and wheelied into a pole... $4000 damage to the bike and a broken ankle.
