The dangers of motorcycles are a bit exaggerated, although they are still more dangerous than cars. Modern bikes have a bunch of safety features that motorcycles didn't have when they got their bad reputation; including super powerful ABS disk brakes and anti slip systems. There is also modern safety gear such as airbag jackets and even airbag pants.

But you have to learn to ride, and it demands more from the motorist than driving a car. And yes, there are dangers in form of car drivers, which you can do very little about to mitigate. But when motorcycles become more common, car drivers also learn to accommodate better to them. And I suspect a lot of the accident statistics come from young riders who haven't learnt to risk manage. There's a big difference riding at 35 compared to at 19.

Let’s be real, most cagers wouldn’t last a day on any sort of motorcycle.
