Just think about this. Back in the States where I came from originally, they have all kinds of restrictions on age of racers, but there's virtually no restrictions on private owners.

So there are 18 year old kids on the road with practically no instruction since the US motorcycle license is very easy, and they're perfectly legal to own those 220 hp bikes.

I bought my first 1000cc when I was 27, a Ducati 996 salvage title and even at 27 I was stupid enough to get in trouble on it.
