I wonder what the comparison would be if people often rode motorcycles for as many miles as cars are driven. Wasn't the average miles per year quoted to be 4000 miles or so? But the average for a car is 3x that amount, and its common for people to go much further than that and not be a long distance commuter.
I also wonder what the stats would be if the over 1000 cc bikes that are so popular weren't available. Modern bike seem to me to have too much power for the weight and too many inexperienced riders who have been pampered by the cocoon of cars for so long.
