There is a clear danger but most of the time it's avoided. I don't know a lot of statistics about crashes. But I'm guessing driver error of the cars involved are more to blame. I'm going to get shot for this comment but I think the vast majority of bikers I've seen are pretty sensible. Yeah throttle gets opened but not crazily and when and where is deemed a safe place to do it. There are the few that are balls out everywhere they go.
If I'm not mistaken i think the majority of motorcycle accidents are caused by the rider misjudging a corner. Followed by the smidsy's.
