My wife is a nurse at two hospitals.
One they deal with alot of motorcycles injuries and most of them are crotch rocket riders, this hospital is in a university town.
The other hospital she works in the ER and this hospital is in a military town, and she sees alot of Crotch rocket riders come in.

My CBR600RR (599 cc engine) has 109 horsepower pulling a 340 pound bike. In their stock form, power to weight ratio they are the fasted vehicles on the planet.

My front end comes off the ground so easy that I have to be careful leaving a stop light.
