Re: Where can we get statistics of which BIKES pass the California DMV riding test?

That's the whole point! There is already an easier test. It's the $200 MSF test. It's almost trivial to pass the $200 MSF test. In my class, we had about 24 riders in the class on those toy bikes, 12 at a time on the course. Guess how many passed this $200 test. Yup. All 24, some of which wouldn't last a year on the road alive after having passed that $200 MSF test. I'm sure "some" people fail the $200 MSF test (it would be interesting to see the statistics), but out of 24, how many do you think typically fail? Do you think it's 12 out of 24? The reason they all passed is the $200 MSF riding test, while realistic, is LENIENT as all hell in scoring. I watched a guy miss the u-turn box by six feet and another knock the cones out of whack on the cornering. All passed. Take an arbitrary sample of 24 riders and give them the free California lollipop DMV riding test on their own bikes. Let them practice all they want, but, give them ONE CHANCE (per day, for three days) with ZERO errors allowed on this free Ca DMV riding test. Do you think 24 out of 24 would pass? Do you think 12 out of 24 would pass? It would be interesting (and enlightening) to see the statistics. If you guys are right, then all the big-bore bikers would pass on their own bikes. I'd be glad to be wrong. Where are the statistics proving either of our assumptions? All I'm asking for is fact. Not opinion. Pure hard fact. QUESTION (opened slightly so as to get an answer): For any state in the nation, do we have statistics of the pass/fail figures based on the SIZE of the motorcycles taking the riding tests?
