It would be interesting to see different motorcycle stats. Those 100+ horsepower beasts are probably in another ballpark than regular commuter bikes (e.g. 125cc).
How essential wearing a helmet is to these bikes is one of the only thing that keeps me from using it. I’ll wear a lightweight road bicycle helmet reluctantly but the kind of helmet you need to ride a motorcycle is so uncomfortable to me, and represents the danger, that I’d rather just drive.

If you cannot stand a helmet then not riding is certainly a good choice.
Modern motorcycle helmets are way more comfortable than they were a couple decades ago though.
I cannot stand wearing a motorcycle helmet. I don’t even like wearing a bicycle helmet that isn’t light weight costing $70+ minimum.

Please … don’t buy a helmet on Amazon. Try it out, find one that fits, take it for a test drive.
