the safest bike cant be polled or voted this way.
It can be done when we specify engine capacities like safest bike in :
100 cc or below
101cc to 150cc
151cc - 250cc
251cc - 350cc
351cc - or above

the safest vehicle as per the Govt figures in New delhi sometime back was - autorickshaw!! No disc brakes, no ABS, no nothing!! Just cause it has not got the engine capacity!! Believe me, it was officially the safest vehicle on Delhi's roads!!

Safety is in the Hands of the rider.. But yes, the more powerful the engine, the more chances of it banging someone. (thats as per the official accident records)

IMHO, the safest bike is the one which is ridden by the safest rider.
Handling is a very fine aspect of riding in the sense that, even a bad handling bike can be handled with ease once the proper techniques are learnt and once your'e used to it. The inherent handling characteristics of any bike, once youre used to them, will not matter for safety.
Of course, ABS will help under some situations so a bike with ABS will be safer than the same bike without it.
In the end, it all boils down to the most important safety gear, your brain. Just by thinking calmly and anticipating well, you can save yourself from many bad situations.

Fz - 180

FZ with a Daytona FFE (insanely loud), HID headlights and performance tuned.

Here are my reasons for the above statement:
- Loudness creates awareness around the rider.
- HID lights give very bright view in the night and also the projected light 'enlightens' a long distance ahead of the bike and in local areas with small streets and turnings, other people/riders become aware and be cautious.
- Performance tuning is needed because stock FZ is slow (everyone knows it). Punchy torque and lots of power can always help in escaping many situations (depends on the rider and bike condition ofcourse).
- FZ is one of the best handling bikes in Indian market and most suited for street riding.
- Skilled Rider and a bit of luck
- A loud horn would prove to be the icing on the cake.

And that's exactly what I own. Everything I stated above is from my own experience. Many times I have found my bike's path being cleared automatically without even using horn (Skoda Car's ) even in the midst of ruthless traffic.

Honestly after reading your post it seems you want to do some publicity of your bike, though my answers in bold

The safest bike ? none - until you decide to ride safe, no bike is safe.

4000kms on this "setup" does not guarantee that HID wont blind the opposite traffic and skoda horns wont create havoc in crowded place

That is why I said no bike is safe , its the rider and his experience makes it safe

Check your tone here

Prateek - Are you using 40 W hid Xenon setup which navneesh sells ?

Skoda horns create havoc in a crowded place? lol. What would Skoda cars do?! OMG

How many skoda horns you have seen creating havoc in crowded place or city and also i would like to know which city you stay where skoda creates havoc as per your view?

You should ask Prateek dude. Read the last few posts.

What wrong has prateek wrote dude? Its you who is abusive and trashing.

If you want to remove your frustrations or show up your anger please dont do it at the cost of xbhp space and other peoples time here.

This discussion has moved into a wrong direction. What we should be discussing here is a motorcycle that is most forgiving to human errors or lack of riding skills in stock form. The most forgiving motorcycle right out of the factory which doesn't need any set of modifications.

I am unsure whether these points below have already been discussed here. I am writing these on the basis of some recent posts.

First of all, any motorcycle that is easier to ride than the other one enhances the rider's confidence automatically and confidence, while riding, is very important to be safe. A nervous rider is dangerous to himself and others. So an easy to ride motorcycle is one factor that we can take into consideration. Now how does a motorcycle become easy to ride? I guess there could be number of factors here, A) Ergonomics that suit most riders, B) The power band of a motorcycle - does the power of the motorcycle often surprise you? Friendly/comfortable ergonomics along with motorcycle's linear power delivery is a very safe combination in an urban environment. This also leads us to think about where a motorcycle has to be ridden. There are specific motorcycles meant to be ridden in a specific environment, for example dirt motorcycles for off-roading. The motorcycle design, weight, ergonomics and especially suspension makes a dirt/off-road/dual purpose motorcycle safest for off-roading. A motorcycle suited to its riding environment most is the safest in that environment.

Good brakes, without doubt, increases rider safety and makes a motorcycle safe. Good brakes should be progressive and shouldn't surprise a rider by locking the wheel(s) even when the brakes are applied with moderate force. ABS technology has enhanced the braking performance in many vehicles already. A CBR250R ABS version is a very good example here along with some other motorcycles.

The chassis and suspension combination of a motorcycle is also another important aspect that makes a motorcycle safe to ride. A stable motorcycle while in straights or at lean and in emergency braking makes for a safe ride. An R15 is one of the best examples in this scenario and above as well. Along with chassic/suspension combination, the weight of a motorcycle matters a lot. A preferably light motorcycle for urban environment is a good option as it's easier for the rider to change direction with ease. This might save him/her in emergency situations.

And ofcourse, the power of a motorcycle. The tamable power of a motorcycle is good especially for an inexperienced rider as the element of surprise is less when the throttle is twisted like crazy.

Please understand that all these elements in a motorcycle are safe and helpful to the rider as long as he has enough skills to use them properly.

Sensibly, there should be least usage of horns in any riding environment except ofcourse in emergency situations. The horns should be used to just let the other riders/drivers know of your presence rather than becoming an irritant by honking or using a loud horn non stop. In normal traffic situations, a loud horn is not needed at all. Even in dense traffic, a horn has least usage as the traffic is already moving at a snail's pace! Unless, ofcourse, if one is stuck in traffic on an incline/slope the horn could be useful incase the vehicle in front is sliding back towards your vehicle.

Well said Satellite Kid. I apologise for moving off the topic.

After Reading your post i believe i have choosen one of safest Bike (Apache ABS)
