101-250 cc bikes account for 9% of bikes on the road yet are involved in 13% of accidents
751 and up account for 23 % of the bikes on the road and only account for 16% of accidents. So based on the number of bikes statistically speaking the 751 cc and up bikes are safer then 101-250 cc group.
These stats are taken from the Hurt report via Proficient Motorcycling by David L Hough.

Wow those stats are alarming...All I know is that according to a study I read, out of all 1000s, the Kawasaki 10R is involved in more accidents than any other 1000cc bike. Scary huh...That is why I respect my bike.
