That was a hard crash, but the front end shouldn't break off any motorcycle. EVER!

Welcome to 2004. Any bike would snap like that landing at that angle.

Go and try it.....

You need new material. I saw a kid on a 50cc Cobra do the same thing at a local race. Now in comparison I find the 50 front end snapping way more impressive...

If he would have faced into that incline with his body he would have been dead. As it was the guy almost broke in half..... Ouch.

Pulling up 7 year old material, apparently that's the best you've got .. LOL.

Obviously not typically a good thing, but that break is probably what allowed the guy to walk away - similar to how race cars are designed to break off pieces to absorb energy. If it didn't break, he would have been punted like a football.

Home made Hondas break in half. .....................seems to be an epidemic with people who don't realize that aluminum frames are heat treated.

Can you get a discount on the one you test rode since it's been wrecked?

Well, Suzukis are tough bikes too, but Johnny O'Mara broke the steering stem away from the frame in '90 on a rather routine looking jump. Its called the Lemon Law.
