I have been riding motorcycles a long time, many decades.

The Canadian license system is a joke. We should be doing A1, A2, A3 power limits on bikes like Europe. As it stands, the only limits to teenagers buying these sport bikes is insurance costs, and this just means they don't carry insurance and learn to run from police.

Sport bikes are fun, on a track, but there needs to be limits on how much horsepower we allow on public roads for motorcycles and cars. Why does an EV need 500hp.
