Dangerous, Overpowered Superbikes Cause Motorcycle Accident Compensation Claims
Motorbikes are almost 30 times more likely than cars to be involved in a fatal accident on the roads. But road safety campaigners and police are now warning of an even bigger danger on Britain’s roads – Superbikes.
Many of those interested in snapping up a superbike get their ideas from motorbike racing, where the fastest and most powerful bikes include the Honda CBR1000, the Suzuki GSXR1000, the Kawasaki Ninja and the Yamaha YZFr1.
Born-again bikers are hastily snapping up superbikes as they attempt to relive their moped riding youth. They have become so popular in recent years that they are drawing back riders who haven’t been on a bike in years.
There is a dark side though. Police warn that born-again bikers will have little or no experience on a motorbike, let alone a powerful superbike. Motorcycle accident claims have rocketed in recent years as accidents are caused when riders are unable to handle the bikes.
Police and road safety ministers recently launched a 10 year road safety campaign to deal with the problem. They hope that increased awareness and extra training will cut the number of deaths on Britain’s roads as a result of motorcycle collisions.
There is currently no UK data but increasing reports of fatal motorcycle accidents in British newspapers suggest that this is a growing problem.
The message to motorcyclists is to avoid superbikes unless you are considerably experienced at riding. Motorcyclists are also being urged to keep speeds low and pay an increased attention to the roads as the dark nights and bad weather makes them less visible to other road users. Motorcycle accident claims are expected to increase over the next few years.
