Actually, Welding aluminum reduces its strength by 30%, unlike steel. The strongest part of a welded aluminum frame is anywhere over 2" away from a weld. Cracked welds on aluminum are not uncommon and It does not matter how Advanced the frame design is. Does this mean all welded frames will crack? no It means they are more likely to crack at the weld under impact than a steel frame weld would. If you don't want to believe me, Call a reputable fab shop.

Hey if you have a cracked frame will the insurance company buy you a new one?

Either way there should still be penetration on the weld.

I had an 05 gixxer 1K as well as two 06's. Wheelied the piss out of all three along with lots of track time and never had an issue with frames. Infact, never had an issue of any kind. Simply turn the key and go.
Had six busa's and the only frame issue I ever had was the 03 I wadded up in the foothills of the cascades.
Suzuki makes damn good bikes that are as close to bullet proff as bikes can get!

I'm a BIG dude (way too big to be riding an '05 gsxr1000) and I wheelied the crap outta mine, and put here down hard several times. I never had an issue with my '05 1000. Loved every mile of it!
