Before I went for a motorbike licence I research some of these stats. - A decent proportion of accidents are on unregistered bikes or riding while drinking. - Speeding, as always - A big risk factor is older people returning to motorbike riding as they remember their old skills but dont have them any more. - Having ABS is something like a 30% accident reduction. There's still a bunch of risk on a bike but for someone sensible you can improve your odds a fair way. Though I guess you could argue that personality would likely have well reduced odd than average in a car too so its still a relative increase...
