Not really, no. <rant> Of course you're more likely to be seriously injured or killed on a motorcycle - you're not sitting in a padded tin box. A low speed accident you'd walk away from in a car can quite easily kill you if you hit the wrong object (or get run over by an oncoming artic). Then there's the fact that the margin for error is much smaller and the sensitivity to changing conditions required much greater on a bike meaning accidents are easier to have in the first place. So it's not surprising at all. The only way to reach parity with respect to accident figures would be to ban biking altogether, reduce the motorcycle maximum speed to 10mph or cover all roadside objects and other vehicles in several feet thickness of cotton wool. I wish the police, government,media and assorted do-gooders would accept the fact that biking is by its nature more dangerous than driving a car, accept the fact that *we* accept that it's more dangerous and let us carry on killing ourselves at the current rate. </rant>

Since a high percentage of crashes involve inexperienced and/or intoxicated riders whose right-of-way is violated by a cager turning in from of them, those stats are meaningless to mature, sober riders who pay attention to what they're doing.
