While it may seem obvious, this is a point worth reiterating. There are already many risks associated with motorcycles, such as hurtling head-first into oncoming traffic as you overtake, negotiating tight corners, being exposed to the elements, and generally being less visible to other road users. With their rapid acceleration, higher top speeds, more aggressive riding position, and lighter mass, sport bikes are the most hazardous segment in an already dangerous pursuit.
There is another factor that also affects overall accident rates for sport bike riders, and that is age. Just under 60% of sport bike riders are below the age of 30, which is important when considering that they are four times as likely to experience an accident than those who ride cruisers, who make up around 25% of the under-30 crowd. So, while sport bikes are dangerous, younger riders have a higher probability of accidents than those over 30, whether due to inexperience, overconfidence, an aggressive riding style, or a combination of the three.
With this in mind, as a younger or less-experienced rider, or indeed an older rider who enjoys practicality and speed, it may be worth cutting your teeth on something more stable, leisurely, and tuned for better control at various speeds. One segment, in particular, provides a worthy compromise between performance, control, and practicality: the sport-touring bike. As such, you should consider a sport-touring bike instead.
