It all depends on the bike. Some bigger bikes are sedate, some are a handfull.
7. Do you know someone who lacked riding experience that has jumped onto a high powered bike and has had an accident?
Yes and no. Define experience. I know a bloke that has rode and competed for 20+ years on bikes and stilll managed to crash a gsxr1000. His experience on bikes, vs experience on that bike are alot different.

11. Have you ever personally been in a motorbike accident? What happened? (Optional)
Crashed a gs500e. due to lack of power/stupidity. Harleys were doing well below the speed limit and i tried to overtake in a safe spot. They sped up as they do on straights and i ran out of road. By the time i passed i couldn't get myself into position for the corner.
I believe to this day if i were on a litre bike or a Busa i would have been past in a matter of seconds and wouldn't have thought twice about it.
12. In your opinion and based on your experience what advice would you give someone aged between 18 to 25 thinking of purchasing a high powered bike?
Do at your own risk.
13. What are your top 5 riding tips in order of importance?
-Ride smooth,
-Look ahead,
-Don't do things at the spur of the moment,
-Try and avoid riding with people who push your limits if you cant contain yourself.
-Dress for the ride, not the destination.
