[PirateJafa]

I now have a reliable road bike so I will be out and about more!

There's a selling tag-line for Honda - "So reliable that even females can't break 'em!"

Hey I was just curious as to how many women ride motorbikes because I haven't seen very many to this date. My mum rides motorbikes, infact she rides my R6 every now and then. But I have only met a couple other female riders. Howcome? The few female riders I have met were very good riders, but I only ever meet/see male riders.
This is a serious question because I have no idea why not many women like to ride! Most of the girls my age that I have met don't seem to think riding is all that cool.

The latest stats from the LTA show:

- Females make up 11% of the current 110,000 registered motorcycles in New Zealand

- 26% within the 11% of females ride motorcycles over 751cc

- Females make up 17% of serious motorcycle crashes

If you want to see more about motorcycling from the female perspective check out the ladies column Heels On Wheels every month in the Motorcycle Trader magazine or email your thoughts and feedback to heelsonwheels@motorcycletrader.co.nz

- Females make up 11% of the current 110,000 registered motorcycles I take it you mean motorcyclists in New Zealand

- Females make up 17% of serious motorcycle crashes

Would this include those who are pillion and are involved in a crash, because in pretty sure the majority of pillions are female and may not have thier licence but could be added to the 11%

Track days I haven't seen many female riders as well. I remember seeing rachprice at the motomart trackday in February, and one or two others.

You need to come to a CD"s track day, there are more female riders attending every year. Our last one was buzzing with chicks who ride, you would be surprised who attends the day and are fellow KBer's, which is very cool

And Sarge is right there are heaps of chicks up here in the Manawatu that ride
