I would have to agree with that in theory, but without some numbers to apply it to, it is pure supposition. This is not aimed at ANY car, but that statement. In order to have some validity, it needs to be overlayed with some #'s. How many FFRs are there, not sold, but actually on the road, the same with all brands. I believe that Superformance is at the mid 2000 #, is there that many FFRs ? and how many others. For there to be any application of the percentile rational, we would need to know how many of each brand and what percentage of the total each is. That would then need to be compared with percentages of accidents by what brands... Everything else is pure hearsay and speculation. To really be fair, you would also need the # of miles per year...I mean.. that's how insurance companies base things. You would also have to separate track work from the regular road driving. Nothing against the owners, but I would venture that many of the accidents/claims were from guys that were in over their heads. I worked on Sportbikes from their inception and I know well how that can come into play...extremely quickly and costly.
