GSX-R tops US risk list

A survey of US insurance firms reveals Suzuki’s GSX-Rs are the most likely bikes to be stolen AND to be involved in a crash – according to America’s Insurance Journal.

If you don’t want to bother with a rottweiler in the garage in the States then it’s the Suzuki Savage you want – according to the report it’s the least likely bike to be stolen.

Best bet for avoiding a crash? A Yamaha Virago series. Cruisers, perhaps not surprisingly, equal lower risk, it seems.
