That is a link to the crash data.
Sideshow Bob was talking about "most people who rode are over 40"
I did some looking because as noted you guys are unable to provide actual data...

45yrs+ old are 71% of license holders.
BUT younger people rode more in total.
People in the 15 - 45 yr bracket rode 51% of the k's.
So old riders ride less and crash more per k per rider.
ACC levy increasing based on age seems appropriate.
What is more interesting to me is the very very low # of people who have traveled more than 10,000 km in a year?
A whopping 97% of license holders have NOT traveled more than 100km.
3% of 450,000 is roughly 13500
Of the above only 6% traveled more than 10,000km.
800 people. Roughly.
An elite crew!
The most recent one I stumbled across had someone riding through the country side. Looked cool til he took of the helmet and it was some Hipster lol. Everyone knows that Hipsters wouldn't ride a motorbike unless it was electric or powered by used coffee grinds
I think he was an ACC ad as it was promoting ride forever
Overview
The New Zealand Household Travel Survey is an ongoing survey of household travel conducted for
the Ministry of Transport. Each year, people in 4,6001 households throughout New Zealand were
invited to participate in the survey by recording all their travel over a two-day period. Each person in
the household was then interviewed about their travel and was also asked about their alcohol
consumption and other travel-related information.
I find that very hard to believe. I usually ride more than 10,000 km a year, and don't get out that often. I suppose a few 2 or 3 day trips do add up though.
There must be quite a few commuters who would easily click up 10000 km in a year.

The one I looked at had on the spreadsheet for 2015-2018 40-60 motorcyclists.
26 interviewed, not exactly representative.
Where fewer than 60 people were sampled in any group, or where estimates are based on fewer than 100 trip legs, sampling errors may be large and results should be treated with caution.

DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.
Still unfair. I don't see why an individual should be penalised simply because they are in a high risk age group, unless that age also reflects inexperience, say under 25's. Personally I would double the ACC levy for those who have claimed and were at fault. Perhaps after a certain claim free period it could come down again.
ACC's basic premise is that it's a no blame cover. Penalising people who have claimed would need a legislative change.
They've already increased the ACC levy. Just because we are more likely to be injured, should we have an accident while riding our motorcycles ...
What is the difference between that and defining which age group is "More likely" to be involved in an accident and injured ... ??
