How would you respond if someone said they were going buy a motorcycle?

You could say nothing. The person should figure it out themselves, I'll mind my own business.

The implication in the comment is that you understand there's some risk as well as reward to riding around on a motorcycle. Is it really right to just do nothing? What if everyone took that view? What if you rode a motorcycle for a short time and came to the realization that it was all risk and no reward. Shouldn't you say something?
