Due to rider assistance like ABS, stability control, and wheelie control, modern motorbikes are highly safe, but not all earlier motorcycles were risky either. Many motorcycles in the past have done a great job of balancing speed and safety, and modern bikes’ powerful punch may be what makes them feel extremely dangerous without rider aids.
Consider the previous super sports, which lacked electronics but could still be operated by a rider with the necessary skill.
That does not imply that every motorcycle ever produced was risk-free for riders. Manufacturers have released several poor products that have quickly landed many motorcyclists in the hospital. These bikes have served as a pass to heaven for the unhappy ones.
