1. you think 20+mph is walking speed? it's not. these are riding around town speeds and skills, period. that's not even up for discussion, it's like you think you're talking to someone who's never ridden. If those riders thought a dofferent bike would give them a competive edge, they'd use it.
2. my previous dyna and an xr1200 are both examples of h-d that are not top heavy and have excllent brakes.

Who the hell puts a new rider on a dyna or an xr1200? A new rider needs a light, easy to ride motorcycle with really good brakes. That will keep them safer, period.
Look at it this way most riders get into trouble with a car turning left in front of them. So you can either go left, maybe or right maybe, or stop. What bike would you want to be on in this instance at say 45 MPH?
Does your xr1200 handle so fucking good that you can go left or right, are your brakes so good and your training and experience so good that you could stop? Or are you old school and would just lay it down?
If a new rider is on oh say a CBR500 the odds go way up as all three options are looking better.
