Car insurance companies dont raise the rates on Honda Civics or Acura Integras because all the street racers use them illegally and crash them more often than other cars. The DOT doesn't go to Yamaha and put pressure on them to make their streetbikes safer and required mandatory training to ride it. Just venting.
