 According to Canadian researchers, motorcycles that “Look human” are more likely to be noticed by car drivers approaching from the opposite direction.

Study by scientists found that motorcycles that resemble a human face - especially an ‘angry’ one with diagonal headlights - are ‘significantly’ more visible to other drivers.

“People see not just motorcycles coming at them but motorcycles with human characteristics and faces," according to Charles Kenny, president of Right Brain People, a consumer psychology firm specializing in motor vehicles.

"It connects to something very basic in the psyche that goes back to when they were little children."
