A high performance machine might have killed him.
This is the reason for "graduated motorcycle licenses". (we see guys posting from England/Europe with 125cc bikes we don't see here)
When I lived in S. Ontario (Canada), over the course of a summer, (any summer) there used to be at least 20 young fellas do themselves in, on powerful bikes, owned less than 2 weeks.
Just this last summer, in NB, there was a semi famous sports guy (of some kind) did himself in on the way home from buying a R6 Yamaha, fresh from the dealer.
*Thinking back* a lot of old guys learned on bikes that nobody is interested in buying/owning today. My first was a Honda 50 "step-thru" that I paid $35 for.
