the risk is born by the rider instead of the public.

This is some bullshit. A motorcycle may be smaller than a car comparatively but one being hurled at you at highway speeds is still lethal. Both pedestrians and people in cars die to speeding motorcycles every day.

Compared to a fucking truck or SUV at highway speeds? No shot.

How is the comparison even relevant?
Last time I checked SUVs are required to adhere to speed limits too.

I wasn't arguing about cars vs motorcycles, I was arguing that

the risk is born by the rider instead of the public.
