Hence, it's the freakin' thief that's crashing the bike!
I, for one, KNOW beyond a shadow of a doubt that I lack the riding skill and experience to successfully handle a Gixxer... I'm willing to bet the thieves don't stop to think about that when they steal 'em...
Or more likely they're being stolen and stripped for parts to fix those that have been crashed.
