“2003 kawaski ex500-d10---I was riding down the road and as I was down shifting the front wheel went on the shoulder of the road when the handle bars broke off in my hands, making it impossible for me to turn and I ran into the ditch and was thrown from the bike and broke my wrist. I believe that this is a defected motorcycle part[ thin handle bars ] that my body weight could make them break we have from the er to night that there has been other accidents like mine caused by the Ninja bikes. That is a diffident design defect.”
