I think from their perspective, they're primarily concerned about fewer people dying.

Those damned tyrants!
motorcycles are dangerous for two reasons.

1) some people shouldn't be on them because they're retarded, and

2) cagers (those who drive cars) are even more retarded, don't look for bikes, or simply don't care.

given the 2nd argument, and the theory that the nannystate just wants to save lives, ban motorcycles. Since people in cars can't be held responsible for killing people on bikes, we'll just take away bikes.
