This is exactly the kind of thing I wish beginners knew about. When a bike has new safety gear on it, it's easy to think 'oh, I'm safe now,' but the machine isn't going to protect you completely on its own. I misunderstood that at first too. Don't over-rely on it - ride with your own eyes and hands. That basic idea is something I was reminded not to forget.

Is the 'Safety in Motion' report publicly available anywhere, like in a Japanese-language version?

Not sure of the details, but there's a good chance the overview is published somewhere on Brembo's official site.

I've heard the same story about the tech-versus-overconfidence gap in cars, so it's probably a shared issue regardless of two or four wheels.

They call it overconfidence in tech, but isn't part of it that electronic control has gotten so advanced users have a harder time feeling the actual limits?

I think that's a sharp point — the reassurance from ABS and traction control might actually be dulling people's risk perception.

A report co-produced with Economist Enterprise seems like proof Brembo is seriously investing in safety awareness.

The finding that everyday riders are more optimistic than experts is a scary story, since that perception gap is exactly what leads to accidents.
