Rocks on the road aren't fun, this goes without saying, And if one is unfortunate enough to run over a small rock during a high-speed turn, the outcome is even worse.
While an enduro-touring machine with tires designed to handle rough surfaces and with a smother suspension could remain upright with a bit of luck and a good rider, a sport bike will go down.
This video has a great educational value as it depicts how easy and how fast a sport bike can go down because of a small rock in the wrong place. Luckily it looks like the rider was unscathed, but things could have gone terribly wrong in slightly different conditions, a car in the opposite lane or being run over by the bike behind to name just a few.
