I was very much into motorcycles until medical school, where it became obvious to me on my ER/ICU/trauma rotations, the very high percentage of death or severe permanent disability after motorcycle accidents vs automobile accidents.
The majority of physicians with whom I've spent time on the racetrack, were also into motorcycles in their youth, but none have motorcycles now for the reasons I listed above.

There's a very good reason they are referred to as Orthopaedic and Neurosurgical 'training tools'!

here a vid of me in my 620R:
in Austria this high spec bathtub is converted in USD around: 90.000$ incl. taxes
head gasket i had to change after 2.000miles from new, had further on to modify the cooling system, valve drive, etc. - 6.500$ for 2.000miles ... maintenance like a race car - but each penny worth it!

Agree with this. Very cool bike, however we'd hate to lose you.

I represented a couple of motorcycle manufacturers who were sued for injuries resulting from motorcycle accidents. The injuries were horrendous.
As a result, I would never get on a motorcycle.
