If you're in an area with nice weather, motorcycle hands down.
However, remember that with nearly zero exception all motorcycle riders have gone down....or they are about to go down. There is a high risk of hurting yourself with a bike. Probably the single reason I don't ride.

Do you have stats on this? I haven't been able to verify it, some say as low as 2-5% crash during a year, others say much more.
As for accidents, more than half are caused by alchohol and for the remainder, 80% are caused by a clueless car driver. 50% of fatalities are due to no helmet.
It means you have quite a lot of choice on how you approach riding doesn't it? Wear protective gear, don't drink and ride, don't ride where morons drive cars and don't be a dumbass on a way too powerful bike, doing swerves in busy traffic.
I don't doubt it as such, but like with the stats of young men being involved in more car accidents, it also comes down to a certain type of young man, who is statistically much more likely, because of other factors than simply sex and age, such as low education for example.

More than half of motorcyclist deaths involved at least one other vehicle.
42 percent of two-vehicle fatal motorcycle crashes involved a vehicle turning left while the motorcycle was going straight, passing, or overtaking the vehicle.

It is more dangerous to ride a motorcycle and I am certainly trying to rationalize the risk lower, but it is also obvious that the risk for a sensible adult isn't as high as it is made out to be if you only look at aggregate statistics.
