It's hard to say what the problem is, but I remember when I was that young, I suffered from a severe case of immortality syndrome, unaware that death was real and willing to do a lot of stupid things for a thrill and to impress my so called friends.

I've been riding for 36 years and there are riding experiences that still scare me. That's not a bad thing and forget all the "No Fear" nonsense.

Motor bike mechanics.please help.?

I don't think that it is the boys (or girls) on bikes that are causing accidents but rather the idiots driving big cars and SUVs that think that they are invulnerable to harm.
Bikers have to take responsibility for their own safety.
Sure some take unnecessary risks but they are only endangering themselves and not anyone else.
It is really difficult to kill anyone but yourself (maybe your passenger) while riding a motorcycle.
Most motorcyclists know exactly how to control their bike but the same cannot be said for idiots in cars.

Yes I do agree with that and feel that it should be regulated as to the power of bike for first time riders along with a mandatory rider safety course.

On a motocross bike, the front brake supplies how much of the potential stopping power?

I ride a bike myself, and see a lot of younger, less experienced bikers riding recklessly. It's just like most bikers will say "Ten thousand dollars does not a biker make". I understand that they want to ride and enjoy themselves, but they need to take their time learning the bike and watch out for four wheelers. An accident is always waiting around the corner. Learn, Buy and Enjoy.

How big is the fuel tank on an '04 gsxr 750?

To an extent it is true. Some guys without knowing their limitations try to imitate others. I have one problem with taxi and auto drivers in Bombay city. These guys simply cut the lane the moment passenger waves to them, no matter what is the speed of the trafic, they are in which lane. They don't seem to be observing any traffic rules. They never give any signals. Their head lights and tail lights are alway off in night. It is very difficult to negotiate with them in traffic. They need to be educated about the trafic rules since most of them are poorly educated, hardly able to read or write. I am not against them since banning them would cause loss of income opportunity for them. But there is another angle to the problem. For their livelyhood why should others sacrifice lives.

As others have said young men tend to be highly represented in the accident statisitcs, but the biggest increase in recent years (in the USA anyway) has been among males of the "Baby Boomer" age group who are getting into riding for the first time, or getting back into it after a long abscence.

Why activa.....then?

when i bought my new gsxr 1000 last year there was a 16 year old kid there with his dad I remember him saying thats the bike I want right there dad pointing to mine as they rolled it back to prep it for me. I talked with his salesman as they were walking around and he said the kid had no experience and his dad had plenty of cash. I see this as selective culling the father is to blame for this accident waiting to happen. And 2 weeks later the salesman told me old sonny there wrecked the bike on his firt outing with only 74 miles on it. People have no clue about the capabilitys of a modern sportbike . On the other hand my insurance writer tells me the harley crowd ages 45-60 are the ones with the worst rating for crashes. Probably the mid lifers with out a clue on how to ride a bike or what to look for while on it

Operating a motorcycle does NOT become instinctual just because one gets older! Given a few years of driving to learn traffic rules, young new riders have the same learning curve as a lawyer on a cruiser. The same physics still apply, cruisers can highside just as easily as a sportbike, and it's ALWAYS up to the rider to have the wisdom to wear proper gear so they can live through their first crash.

Young bikers crave to twist the throttle and are in awe of the immediate respons of the bikes engine and love to squeeze the power out of the bikes,both 1)for the sheer thrill they gain out of it,2) to impress and catch the attention of the opposite sex,in doing so putting the other road users at risk.They are increasing the rate of accidents as they even drink alcohol and ride irresponsibly at times.

Suzuki gs 500?

No.
Stats indicate that accident rate is up among older riders. This, largely, reflects motorcycles being purchased by the 40+ yr old crowd after a 30 year riding hiatus.
The youngsters know the consequences of participating in a high risk activity. They generally wear better safety gear than older cruiser riders.
