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.
