50cc Moped, or bicycle?

At the moment, its takes me 1 and a half hours to get home from college. That is because the bus arrives at the train station, from school, just after the train to my village leaves. So I have to get the next train which goes past my village to the next stop. I then wait there for the next train back to my village. It does seem like there is no other quick way back (since its 15mins in car).

Although, I am 16, so I can start using a moped (50cc), It's obviously not very fast, but it means I can get home an hour earlier.

My question is, (since I cycle using a road bike occasionally) which is more dangerous to use, a 50cc scooter, or a racing bike, assuming that you are going fairly fast on the racing bike??? If I concentrate on what I'm doing surely the chances of falling off a moped are small???

Thanks,
I have had a bad bicycle accident before, fell of at 40mph and got bad road rash. I am also quite big (6''5' and 110kg), live in the UK. Some of that might help.
