Kawasaki EX500 had four-way flashing hazard lights a few years ago
when I was interested in buying a used one. The salesman tried to use
that feature to distract me from the fact the machine needed
mechanical repairs and a new battery.

Good question. New European bikes have the headlight wired into the
ignition, as US bikes have done for years, and I don't know whether
such machines are fitted with a headlight flasher (as we call 'em). I
don't own anything that modern...

On older bikes, the flasher operates the main beam function, and I
guess that incorporating such a feature into bikes whose headlights
are already on permanently could cause bulbs to blow.

As for hazard warning flashers, yeah, we have them, though they're by
no means universal.
