To be clear, I was asking a legitimate question (not suggesting that 34hp would be slow, but inquiring as to whether it would be slow or not). To all the straight answers, thank you. To those suggesting that I "do the math", I'm lazy and you can do it for me
If there were a way to make motorcycles safer, I'd be all over them. Unfortunately, I'm a lawyer in the insurance industry and the only injuries I see are baaaad.
Cars protect you. Being on a bike means you take the impacts (or are thrown). I really want to like bikes - like, really, really.
(for the record, I don't like being a pedestrian where cars are for the same reason)
