Suzuki GSX-R 1000 Owners Manual: Conclusion
Traffic, road and weather conditions vary. Other motorists' actions are unpredictable. Your motorcycle's condition can change. These factors can best be dealt with by giving every ride your full attention.
Circumstances beyond your control could lead to an accident. You need to prepare for the unexpected by wearing a helmet and other protective gear, and learning emergency braking and swerving techniques to minimize the damage to you and your machine.
The best way to learn basic riding skills and evasive maneuvers or refresh your own riding skills is to take one of the courses offered by the motorcycle safety foundation.
