I ride a bike as my daily driver and have owned and operated motorcycles extensively in the past.

Motorcycles should never ride as close to the edge of the road as bikes do. They're faster, bigger and more noticeable. They are given a wider berth compared to bicyclists in my experience since you can take up the middle of the lane without holding up traffic.

Riding a bike deeper into (relatively) high speed lanes is more dangerous. Impatient 4+ wheeled beings tend to drive past you putting the bike very close a lot of moving mass.
