"driving 200 kph while overtaking through the middle" is reckless behavior, irrespective of the mode of transport.

You don't have a bike license, do you? Your line of reasoning is very consistent with car drivers who are a bit afraid of traffic, and very afraid of "murdercycles".



Too often I see motorcycles being missed, because of their limited visibility and unpredictability. Due to that, and their higher vulnerability, they ask more attention of other road users. If I hit a car, well, it’s likely we both survive. If I hit a motorcycle I might well have a death on my consciousness.


That is because of inattentive and unskilled drivers. Most reasonable riders try to be as visible as humanly possible (and ride as if they're invisible). A motorcycle isn't unpredictable, it goes forwards or turns somewhat, just like a car.
