If you want to see a market where people really get over their head quickly, try the over 150hp race bike market.
My favorite vehicle to date was my 97 YZF1000 155HP, 20K safe miles. Training and common sense goes a long way with this stuff. Light on the throttle, stay off the rear brake, and look as far down the road as you can. when in doubt, stay on the gas, and look where you want to go. And having an overworked guardian angel helps!
I will be going for driving lessons again....
Have fun, be safe, and keep the really extreme stuff on the track.

No question - you're right. Motorcycles are a great analogy to the point I was trying to make. They're relatively cheap, and kids get them with more balls than talent, and end up crashing them very quickly after purchase. |
