I know that the Yammy 750 Virago frame snaps in 2.
I broke one riding down to Melbourne. I hit a deep pothole on a sweeping bend near Melton at 160kph and when it broke, it sounded like an explosion. I investigated the damage (it snapped clean thru under the seat!), looked safe enough, and kept riding it for several months before getting rid of it
