I rode for several years. Such a study needs to take into account the age, accident/ticket rate of the rider, and type of bike. While I was cautious, riding vs driving a car for economic reasons, there were plenty of testosterone-laiden youth who drove up my insurance rates.

The problem is what is a minor accident in a car is a serious accident on a motorcycle. I'm a very safe driver and I have been t-boned through no fault of my own. On a motorcycle is death

Location/culture I think matter too. A lot of equatorial nations drive motorcycles & motorbikes as the default. Car drivers aren’t better drivers on the whole, but they are very aware of motorcycles at all times that I feel other places, car drivers disregard all non-car transportation—motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians.
