Why no hazard lights on bikes?

[skidMark]

Your bikes all suck, my zxr doesnt have them, its too reliable...

and its blatently obvious to others that i am a hazard.

[jetboy]

I don't plan on breaking down so they aren't needed.....yet

[warewolf]

Maybe it's a real high tech Meriden Hinckley!

All T3s and a T4. Obviously not rated as important if they've been dropped from later bikes.

I have riden with a two different people who use the hazard to warn riders behind them of hazards (gravel etc on road), this is espially useful if someon enew to road and other person more experniced.

Suzuki has them, the aprilia does not.

Rear fog light would be more useful but you guys too daft to even require them on cars. Hell, what would be the point tho...over half the dumbasses here don't even put their lights on when its foggy

I HATE the euro cages that have a blindingly bright rear fog light... all the eejits that have their fog lights on when there's not an ounce of fog about piss me off plus it's technically illegal. Luckily most boyracers drive Jap cars which don't have them

I had to make a quick stop the other day and was thinking of all the bikes that break down, run out of gas or get in general strife. Why dont bikes have hazard lights? I cant think of a good reason.

Xaria Hyosung does

Good idea, write all the manufacturers and suggest it.

The BMW F650CS I used to own had hazard lights, and I think one of the other half's Beemers has them too.

[Hitcher]

My ZRX1200R, ST1300, FJR1300 and SL750 have all had hazard lights. Ditto for Mrs H's two Marauders and how her Bandit.

Perhaps a better question is which bikes don't have hazard lights?

I don't think my ST4s does...

[sunhuntin]

my viragos got hazards... ive used them a couple of times when im riding in less than satisfactory conditions like fog or in tunnels, also if im stopped on the side of the open road for any reason. neither of my gn250s had them, which sucked.

[yachtie10]

Mine does

[Forest]

My BMW has them. Push both indicator buttons together to switch them on.

[breakaway]

No point in having hazard lights on a GSXR1000, because the rear ones are always pointing into the ground, and the forward ones always point toward the sky, so unless you're signalling to airplanes there's really no point.

They're not there just for when you break down. My Harley has them and I use them when going through twisties so big 4WD's towing caravans don't rear end me.
