Foggy, you must be a saint while still alive...
I don't quite agree with people like you, lecturing about being good and honest. Do you participate in daily traffic?
Never been on a road in the middle of nowhere, with rediculously low speed limits? I have!
Never seen the speed limits go down over the weekend, followed by police control on monday? I have!
Never lost over 1 hour in a traffic jam, and then having to break the rules to get in time to collect your kids at school? I have!
Never been frustrated at work (or for whatever reason) and stepped a little to hard on the right pedal? I have!
Never seen a police control just behind the sign where the speed limit goes from 90 to 70? I have!
I'm not defending assholes that bring other peoples life in danger.
But I'm disgusted with the attitude that "speeding = killing".
Cars were never built better and safer then nowadays. On a deserted open motorway in the middle of the night you can easily do way over 120 (km/h). In heavy traffic 100 can be dangerous. But the limit is 120 km/h. (Here in Belgium anyway.) Where's the logic?
There have never been more camera's on the roads as last year here, and still the statistics show that the number of accidents is still rising.
However politicians make us believe that speed is the reason for 90% of the accidents, a recent study has discoverend that that is not even 10%!

I'm getting a bit carried away.
Anyway, I think I made my point. I had the same discussion a few years ago on a dutch kawasaki-site. Don't come tell me that you get a bike to keep it within speed limits. And the same probably goes for a Type S...
