These young kids just don't have the maturity to handle a machine that is capable of this kind of speed. A friend of mine told me a few years ago that a kid was killed on one of these flying through a neighborhood and when he hit a car his bloody sock was found hanging from his girlfriends house's gutter.
I'll just be blunt and say I'm glad this lowlife is dead. Someone like this has no business operating a vehicle around other people. This a such a blatant, selfish disregard for human life, they don't deserve to live. Now that he's dead, that's one less person I need to worry about who has zero regard for anyone's life. And if one argue's that it was just a motorcycle and was smaller therefore he only endangered himself, they are wrong. He could have killed a pedestrian or even someone in a vehicle, given how fast he was going. I have nothing against his family and friends, but if you endanger the lives of innocent people like this, I want you dead so you don't pose a threat anymore.

That is really, exceptionally cold. It's beyond "blunt". I hope his family - whoever they are - don't read your post.

I seriously doubt he was going 170 mph. That damage is just not consistent with a speed that great. They are basing the speed on the fact that the speedometer on the motorcycle, was pegged and stopped all the way at 170 mph. That is a classic example of a busted speedometer.
170 mph is racing speed. I've seen crash photos and videos of motorcycles that crashed at speeds over 150 mph. A motorcycle does not stop quick at that speed, even if it hits something. Typically the bike will just start tumbling and keep tumbling for some distance, until it disintegrates, and is reduced down to individual small parts. Without getting too graphic, the same is generally true for the rider. I see no evidence of that in this crash. This bike appears to have still been completely intact after the crash. I would guess his speed was about 70 or 80 mph. Which was still too fast, and the rider paid the price.

This ^^
If the photo is any indication, it definitely wasn't going that fast.
Maybe the previous posters who were elated by his death can now consider their own personality disorders.
Every time I see these kids whizzing past me, weaving in & out of traffic, I can't help but wonder what their mothers would think.
