Not sold. Motorcycles are inherently unsafe because they are extremely unprotected - there is very little you can really do against a driver making a mistake. And the reason most people riding them are risk takers is because everyone else has enough sense to not ride them. I knew a person who was a careful type, always wanted a motorcycle, took classes, rode carefully, had full protective gear, etc. And he did it for a while but driving in traffic he realized that very little protected him from death. He discontinued eventually. Generally, "but I'm special, I'm different" is not a great assumption for safety. The average car driver is not great, either, but they're still not dying in the same amounts.
