I was just wondering why so many people drive these if they are seemingly dangerous? From my experience, everyone I know that speaks about a motorcycle or a sports bike, was in some kind of accident. Either serious or not.
 
a street bike is only as dangerous as the person riding it makes it to be, most motorcycle accidents are solo meaning it was just the motorcyclist involved and most of this is in negociating a turn
 
The people attracted to motorcycles tend to be rash reckless thrill seekers. Hence they are involved in more than their share of accidents. It doesn't matter if it's a sports car, motorcycle, or other 'performance' vehicle. As such, they skew the statistics.

The fact is, for any particular person, a motorcycle is less likely to be involved in a collision.
