FIVE PEDESTRIANS were injured after a riderless runaway motorcycle ploughed into them on a busy Plymouth street.
Police say several witnesses saw the Suzuki Bandit 1200 on its rear wheel seconds before its 20-year-old rider lost control. The riderless bike careered towards the pavement before colliding with several people. Five suffered minor injuries, the worst being a man who suffered a broken bone in his foot. Paramedics from the South Western Ambulance Service attended and treated the injured.

The rider was not arrested but is expected to be summonsed on charges of dangerous driving.
Was it YOU?

Ouch!

Also a 20 year old riding a bandit 1200. That sounds a little suspicious too.
Blue Sv650s Curvey - Now unrestricted but starting to find the suspension a problem.
Next bike: CBR600RR eventually.

Bandit 1200's are very low insurance grouped a 20 year old could easily be riding one.

I was only 21 when I bought my Blade, had 4 years NCB by then though so that helped. :D
