In terms of accidents, you are nearly three times more likely to die in an accident not involving a motor vehicle than you are in a motor vehicle accident. And that includes all motor vehicles.
Then again, motorcycles have three times more fatal accidents than cars: Wikipedia – Motorcycle safety – Accident Rates
Motorcycles are dangerous, yes...when they are in accidents. I'd rather be in a car.
