I also have to wonder if the horsepower wars have also added to the number of accidents. My first sport bike was a Kawi 900, it made a little over 90hp. A little over a decade later, my GSXR1000 makes nearly 160 at the rear tire. Heck, most of the 600s out there are making near 115-120hp. Add that to an inexperienced rider, more traffic on the roadways, poor roadway surfaces due to a lack of repairs...and these stats don't surprise me a bit.
