My dad used to race his Kawasaki 900 4-stoke (this was fast back in the 70's) back in the day around full tracks with about 20 other riders. So you know, not just your simple drag race. And he also used it as transportation to college out in the University of Colorado, making his way from Hopewell NJ to Denver CO. We still have the bike, and it's really big and huge, and classic now, but cool. No matter what bike you get it's really just more important that you take you skill of defensive automobile driving, and DOUBLE IT, as my dad says. You need to be twice as cautious. He did have one wipe out that tore his knees to what looked like meat, but other than that, no horror stories. I have no suggestions, except that a fast is not always important. Just ride what you like, even if it's 30 years old. hehehe. you might look cooler with one of those old things anyway. Well, I'd dig it. haha.
