    How many? No. of Bikes in NZ

    Not sure if this has been posted before but I'm curious to know how many of us bikes/bikers there are out on the road in NZ?

    A quick search on Google says that around 2% of all vehicles registered in NZ are motorcycles. So what's the total then? Anyone know?

    Isn't there around 1 vehicle for every NZer? That would make about 80,000 m/c
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    hmmm that 42,000 seems low at first, but then you have to remember that every farmer has atleast one farm/dirt bike and possibly a quad too.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    I have 11 bikes, of which 3 are road registered, & Im not the only one,so the official stats are really only a very rough guide as to how many bikes are actually out there hiding in peoples sheds

    Know a couple of guy with bikes that have not been registered for a while.
    Totals can be any ones guess. Same guess as how many guns are around.

    What else is there to do!!

    I think that the number of licences issued for motorcycles would be an interesting stat. Even if half turned up at the steps of Parliment they would make one hell of a lot of noise.
