what does being able to maneuver at 5mph REALLY have to do with being able to operate a motorcycle on the Highways?
A: NOT A DAMM THING!
And your point?bullsh!t
an R1 behaves COMPLETELY different at 5mph than it does at 50.
the steering head angle is designed to give the bike stability at speed- at the sacrifice of a substantial lack of stability at low speeds.
if my msf instructor can do all the tests on his goldwing, you should be able to do it on your r1.bullsh!t

I do not disagree with this. But it is my argument that the standardized tests are not appropriate for all motorcycles on the road today.You should be able to operate your vehicle safely within all legal speeds. That is ZERO MPH to the posted limit. Although riding under 20mph has nothing to do with highway speeds, tooling around down town is a different story.
Well, that's about all the state has money to support. I like it because dopes who but the $11,000 liter bike and don't have any money left to take the MSF are weeded out. ;DI do not disagree with this.

heck, look at that new honda chopper- would you be able to weave that thing?
Don't get me wrong, the accident avoidance and braking parts of the test are spot on. It's the low speed maneuverability sections that need tweaking.
hell, what do i know, I got a 100% with gsx-r forks and clip-ons smashing my hands into the tank.Well, that's about all the state has money to support. I like it because dopes who but the $11,000 liter bike and don't have any money left to take the MSF are weeded out. ;D
