As much as speed does kill when an accident happens I still think people being unware, or simply not caring to look, and either not knowing or ignoring right of way, is more of a root cause of most accidents than speed is.
I also do not agree with banning passengers from SS bikes. The type of bike makes no difference. A 'busa is considered a sport touring bike by some insurance companies and that thing will go insane speeds. Even a VFR will accelerate pretty damn fast. Heck, a 650R almost keeps up with a ZX6R until you get above about 100 kph.
I would support ad campaigns showing the benefits of safety gear and what can happen without it, kind of like PSA's about seatbelt use and anti-drunk driving. I feel like a lot of women on the back of bikes, wearing next to nothing, are simply ignorant of what the risks are.
