What's the point of having license limits for motorcycles?
>guy becomes 18 years old with a car drivers license.
>can immediately buy a Ferrari
>no problem
Now with motorcycles:
>yeah, A1 to ride motorcycles up to 125cc! Can't trust you with anything larger!
>oh you want to ride a 1200cc BMW motorcycle? Nope, please take this special license for it!
Why? Just fucking why?
Because the Ferrari is a million dollars and you can get a liter bike for a grand on craigslist.
It's also a much faster way to kill yourself.
You know why, and yes, it works, and no, we don't care that you're Valentino Rossi reincarnated because no, laws doesn't exist to specifically annoy you because believe it or not, you are not the center of the universe, and no, teens aren't flocking into Ferrari showrooms.
The tiered licensing you find in Europe is a direct result of putting liberals in charge. They impose their invasive "let me protect you from yourself" agenda on the population while lining their own pockets and ultimately diminishing the liberties of citizens.
Like you said, there is nothing stopping an individual from buying a car and ramming it into a crowd of people but somehow they feel the need to regulate motorcycles which are statistically shown to virtually injure no one but the rider themselves
places that hate motor bikes hate sports cars too
its just a knock on effect
The issue is that Veeky Forums is virtually the only place that thinks "well if he only kills himself what's the problem" is an acceptable mode of thinking, so of course their logic seems alien to you. I'm sure that single-rider accident won't cost 10k or more in supplies, property damage and man-hours regardless of the number of victims.
So yeah, tell it to the guy who has to scrape a pasted teenager off the blacktop.

QFT
fast motorcycles are way more accessible than fast cars
>a very fast motorcycle is about the same price as a shitbox hatchback
>those who choose to ride a motorcycle are inherently less risk averse than those who choose not to
>motorcycles are significantly easier to crash
>motorcycles are significantly harder for other road users to account for
>motorcycles require a greater degree of skill to ride in every day conditions than cars
>as the capabilities of a motorcycle increase, the level of skill required increases, whereas for cars this does not apply
