oh, and you're wrong about the hyosung too.

Christ you're obviously wrong. Off road is way ------- harder, I mean you have to watch for renegade trees and those sneaky ass possums ::)

you can die just as easily riding very fast in the woods as you can riding very fast on the street.

yes there are no other cars to deal with, but i'm talking very granular.

it is much more difficult to ride fast off road than on the street. i've done both, and riding on the street is much much easier and takes much less effort.

anyone who argues against this hasn't done both.

its very irritating to hear idiots get on their soapbox about riding on the street, like its something ------- special or hard.

I think rs' point is that off-road you have a bit more obstacles and not as much traction and not quite the smooth surface. "More dangerous" because it's easier to screw up.

All yall's others are talking about the idiots on the road and regular driving "dangers" that make it more dangerous. "More dangerous" because of the idiots and road conditions.

Now can you folks quit bitching back and forth?

how many people died last year in off road dirt bike accidents? i guess when the word "harder" was used, it should have been "harder to stay alive".

how many people drive in the dirt compared to driving on the road?

Personally I'd feel safer in the dirt but they both have their own dangers.

there are a shitload more off road riders than on road. statistically, dirt is safer.
