If you want to be safe, Study the hurt report..
A large percentage of accident happen from the front, (i.e. turns or pulls out in front of you) Color or loudness make little difference in your safety.
Another high pecentage is... a single vehicle accident (run wide, road kill, too hot ect.)
Again, Color and loudness made little difference in safety...
So.... Buy the color bike you like and ride smart.
I like to play the "What if" game - What if this idiot turns in front of me?, What if they merge into my lane?
I had a chance to talk to a person who had pulled out in front of a motorcycle that resulted in a bad accident.
She said, She pulled up to an intersection to turn right (US) into traffic,
In her mind she was looking for cars and didn't even see the motorcycle... It wasn't a car... It didn't register as a vehicle until it was too late... She was looking for a car.
I have mistakenly done mindless stuff myself, everyone gets a chance to do something stupid.
Sometimes, It will happen in front of you... BE READY!
