Resume: The motorcycle involved in last night’s fatal crash on Governor Printz Boulevard was a Suzuki Hyabusa, operated by Wilbert Miller, 36, of Wilmington, Delaware.
The motorcycle was traveling northbound on Governor Printz Boulevard at an apparent high rate of speed. The operator lost control, traveled in a northerly direction and struck a curb.
The operator was ejected from the bike. He was wearing a helmet. Mr. Miller died as a result of the injuries he sustained in this crash.
The year of the bike is unknown. The tag on the motorcycle proved to be fictitious and routine computer checks did not reveal a registration.
Mr. Miller's license was suspended and he did not have a motorcycle endorsement.
This investigation is ongoing.

I owned a Hayabusa for 9 years and it is not the type of motorcycle to be toyed with.
ReplyDeleteI suspect that this person just aquired the bike and didn't quite understand how the machine performs.
Mine could accelerate from 0 to 60 in under 3 seconds and could reach over 100 in 2nd of 6 gears.
More horsepower than most small cars, the machine was built for performance and the rider needed to be experienced.
