I hope you have sufficiant back up for your statistics, I think if you look a bit deeper I think you'd find most accidents involving motorbikes are down to the car drivers.
Motorcyclists are a liability. Bikes consist of 1% of all road traffic but are involved in 20% of all road accidents. I've seen 3 motorcycle related accidents which all involved another vehicle (I was in one of them). In each case the accident could have been avoided had the motorcyclist not been doing something wrong.
