Anyone else think scooters are more dangerous than motorcycles? just curious?

I'm fairly convinced that this is the case. I've ridden a Suzuki Gs500 motorcycle for 15 years, and my closest rendezvous with death was on a 50cc Honda clone scooter. any thoughts?|||A scooter *IS* a motorcycle. Neither is inherently dangerous. What is dangerous is a vehicle that is not capable of keeping up with traffic of speed -- such as a 50cc "scooter" or a 50cc "motorcycle".|||Since the vast majority of scooters are ridden by novices and commuters I suspect that there are more accidents involving scooters than bikes percentage-wise, however that is overwhelmingly due to the rider and not the machine.





I would also suspect that there are less serious accidents involving scooters due to limited speeds.|||Neither are dangerous.





Both are simply 2 wheeled bikes that have nothing dangerous about them.





What is dangerous is the way they are ridden / the people who ride them / the other road users around them / the road conditions around them..... etc





A chefs carving knife thats sharp enough to cut through bone is not dangerous. Give it to a psychopath %26amp; it becomes a deadly tool.








You cant blame the machine, its just a machine.|||yup scooters are more dangerous.. motorcycle is safer


because i tried both of them.. scooter sometimes breaks down much and when u go high speed in scooter u start to go left and right then ur going to fall down big time|||you have a cool bike


I only dream of a sports bike


on a motorcycle is safer just because you have a helmet and protection|||I don't believe scooters are as dangerous|||i think scooters are dangerous period...small tires react too fast,,,small brakes. small profile (cant see them) and seemingly small brains in the people that ride them|||i agree, you are more likely to get killed by a biker if you ride a scooter,
