Just as a pilot with 80 hrs in single engine aircraft can't operate a multi-engine jet, the Douchebag should be allowed to drive that monster. When will people learn?

ZX10 Guy has probably read the posts on Kawasaki sportbike forums (they're there for all makes:
"Mommy and daddy are buying me a first motorcycle, but they're so
mean! I want a ZX10 (or R1, or GSXR 1000, or CBR 1000RR, or Panigale, or some other fire breathing monster that puts out around 200 hp), but they only want to buy me a 600 cc supersport bike that
only puts out 120 hp, and I'll outgrow it in six months."
They eventually whine loud enough to get the superbike, complete with shiny new leathers, and spend the time holding people up by whacking the throttle on the straights and parking it in the turns, until they finally crash.
