Motorcycle Popularity
By Dave Nettles
Almost since the invention of the motor we have had some kind of motorbike or motorcycle design around piquing the interest of wood-be enthusiasts’ all over the world. Many factors contribute to this fact but probably the biggest factor is the exhilarating experience of freedom many find hard to resist. But the popularity of the motorcycle has grown over the years for many reasons. Fuel economy being a big factor in may not be top of the list but does indeed play a big part. The popularity of motorcycles is seen by just the sheer numbers of motorcycle dealers around the country that are doing big business. And they do so even in the leaner times of the economy. Just take a look at a list of motorcycle manufactures or some of the more well known makers. This is by no means a full list. There are hundreds if not thousands more manufactures that have new motorcycle models for 2010 that are not on this list. American Eagle

Victory Motorcycle Popularity Today Taking a quick look around the world Vietnam’s primary mode of transportation is the motorbike or motorcycle. Many cultures of the world utilize motorcycles as their primary means of motorized transportation. The largest markets in the world for motorcycles reside in Asia. The biggest is China and the next markets are India, Indonesia and Vietnam. Other parts of the world where the motorcycle is very popular is Brazil. Just since the downturn of the world economy of 2008 the growth of the motorcycle industry is up by almost 7%. In America people registering motorcycles has jumped by over 50% since the start of the new millennium. This is not hard to figure why because the list is endless. Top of the list is fuel costs not to mention the reality TV show (American Chopper) and others all serve to raise the popularity of motorcycles. Motorcycle Safety The rise in demand for motorcycles has pushed up the rate of motorcycle fatalities. The Department of Transportation likes to compare the numbers to cars which is not realistic because the numbers of motorcycles on the road is up by 50% or more. But one thing for sure the need for motorcycle safety is indeed way up. Today there are motorcycle safety classes and training courses available. A separate motorcycle driving license is required which requires instruction. Riding smarter to be safer is indeed the name of the game. Here is some motorcycle safety tips for the individual or group riding safety tips to keep you safe. |
