I notice most non-Indians attribute a higher risk factor to motorcycles than we do. I wonder why that is?
Indian motorcycles are usually tiny little suzuki / honda etc city runabouts that have ~ 100 cc engines (or maybe 350 cc in the case of the venerable old Enfield Bullet, which you wouldnt want to race on, I guess)
Real motorcycles of the sort made by BMW, Ducati, Yamaha, Honda etc have rather more powerful engines than that. Taking a powerful high speed motorcycle down a freeway is rather more risky than putt-putting around from Koramangala to MG Road on one in clogged bangalore traffic.
