My point was, your logic is, a 600 SS and a 250 will both go down in the twisties if the rider makes them.
So, therefore, your logic says, buy the 600 SS, as if a rider is going to crash, tehy're going to crash, and a 250 isn't worth "settling" for since it's just as likely to crash.
So I'm using the same logic as you. Two people, one wearing a helmet and one not, die in an accident.
So,
why bother wearing a helmet, if wearing one will not protect you from death? With your logic, it doesn't make sense to.
Well, in the real world, helmets reduce your risk of dying. And in the same way, a 250 gives the same kind of "safety net", except in this situation a 250's safety net isn't protection from head injuries, it's protection from an inexperienced rider gunning the throttle in a panic and ending up in the back of a Suburban.
That was why I thought your logic was flawed in that situation.
