So it turns out that according to the US Department of Transportation, the fatality per mile rate for motorcycles is 37 times higher than for cars. That's pretty crazy.
Wow that is terrible, but that is the reason I;am afraid to drive motorcycles I feel too vulnerable.
That's definitely understandable, but it might be worth the risk, due to their lower prices and greater fuel economy.
That is true and I guess they can be fun too.  how much can a motorcycle cost, I mean an average one not the really expensive stuff?
Types.
The term motorcycle has different legal definitions depending on jurisdiction (see #Legal definitions and restrictions).
There are three major types of motorcycle: street, off-road, and dual purpose. Within these types, there are many sub-types of motorcycles for different purposes. There is often a racing counterpart to each type, such as road racing and street bikes, or motocross and dirt bikes.
Street bikes include cruisers, sportbikes, scooters and mopeds, and many other types. Off-
are selected by the owner to enhance the motorcycle's appearance, safety, performance, or comfort, and may include anything from mobile electronics to sidecars and trailers.
Safety.
Motorcycles have a higher rate of fatal accidents than automobiles or trucks and buses. United States Department of Transportation data for 2005 from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System show that for passenger cars, 18.62 fatal crashes occur per 100,000 registered vehicles. For motorcycles this figure is higher at 75.19 per 100,000 registered vehicles four times higher than for cars.
