I think motorcycles have 30x the fatalities per mile as cars, and about 20x when equipped with ABS so if I do ever get one it'll have ABS. I'd LOVE to have a motorcycle. My GF used to be into it, too. Drivers in my town suck though, so it's just too much risk for the reward. I still get the itch sometimes though. I'd love an S1000, YZF or an enduro bike, and she wants a Ducati Monster.

I wouldn't doubt it. I personally don't split lanes, but I will ride the shoulder if shit looks like a mess.
Drivers are going to suck no matter what town your in, just have be to able to identify and navigate around the idiots. YZF's are great bikes for regular riding if you don't want to be hunched over reaching for the handle bars. More upright positional seating, pretty comfortable actually. I wouldn't get an Enduro, you'd be disappointed in the lack of power almost immediately.
