Its a simple matter of mass and inertia, we all know bike verses truck/car no contest, what happened to the bike after it hit the truck did it cartwheel? did it tumble sideways? was it run over after? The riders alive thats all that matters bikes are replaceable if that was my bike and I survived I would be pretty stoked! If you want heavy and steady buy a HARLEY the manufacturers are only giving us what we asked for Race Replica's I'll keep my 10R just the way it is.

"Is this covered by the WARRANTY" ,,, "Nope I dont think so, the bike has been abused". I love this quote from the dealers  ... I wonder what a bike that isnt abused looks like.. hmmm

It's not just the 10R. You hit any bike with a truck going 55mph and see what happens. I hit a car head on with my ZX-12R in 2001. I was going about 55mph, the car, about 35mph. My frame broke in two on the right side just above the swingarm pivot. The only part of the bike not broken was the rear wheel.

I don't see sh*t. Even right clicking and "show picture" doesn't work.
