I would have guessed motorcycles are more deadly.

Motorcycles are more deadly for the rider.

Cars cause more danger for everyone else.

Motorcycle insurance is cheap!

[TulliusCicero → NoImmatureAdHom]

Well, motorcycles are cheaper to fix/replace, and being much lighter than cars, are less likely to cause property damage or injuries to other parties.

Because people who self select to drive some alternative vehicle for fun are a safer demographic than the general public because the "I don't like commuting so I'm gonna do my nails and post on HN about how cars are evil while sitting in traffic" types are absent in the former group.

If the general public started driving motorcycles it would get more expensive.

Only to their own riders, not to others. Plus motorcycles are a tiny share of overall motor vehicles on the road.
