There is also the danger factor... you are 27 times more likely to die driving the same distance on a motorcycle as in a car. I don’t think I would want to take that risk.

Part of the difference could be explainable by different demographics. Maybe motorcyclists drive more dangerously than normal even when they're in a car.

"Nobody rides a big-bore sports bike this far out into the countryside in order to do the speed limit."

Even if people drive their cars safely, the huge difference in performance means they're more likely to get in trouble on a bike.

What is the absolute number? Eg 27*0 is still 0 (note I'm not suggesting it's actually 0)

It’s also a more nuanced issue than that. A larger proportion of bike fatalities involve alcohol.
