I didn't mean the bike is dangerous, I meant that with their low profile, they are harder for motorists to see in an urban situation. I live in a large city. Lots of parked cars... lots of cars coming from side streets. I have found that putting a light on the top of my helmet, along with the lights that are on my handlebars, makes me more visible..... and safer.

I would rather drive my F150 than my wife's Subaru for the exact same reason. I can see more when I drive my truck due to the higher profile.

No slight was intended with my comments.
