Compendium of Motorcycling Statistics

Logo: National Statistics

The publication covers all types of two-wheeled motor vehicle transport, with the statistics presented in four sections:

1: Motorcyclists - statistics on motorcycle ownership and training;

2: Motorcycles - information about the vehicles and their characteristics;

3: Journeys made - their number, purpose and characteristics;

4: Motorcycling safety - statistics on road accidents involving motorcycles, and the associated casualties.

Notes to Editors

1. Most of the statistics in the Compendium are National Statistics.  However, some of the figures included are not National Statistics - for example, the top 10 registered models in the UK from the Motor Cycle Industry Association (MCIA).  These are clearly identified in the publication.
