Nice thing about a bike is you can escape a lot more easily if you see trouble coming. You can be sitting in bumper to bumper traffic in your cage, see a car coming to hit you and not be able to do anything but watch in horror. On a bike you can either haul out of there or drop it and step out of the way. Having a serious throttle response can kill and it can also save. Depends on how you use it.

Yep, the worst wreck I was in was between me in a car and an 18 wheeler. If I was on a bike, I would have been gone and not have to sit there trapped for several seconds watching an 18 wheeler barrelling down on me thinking I would die.
