Bunch of data contained in ten pages:
Overview In 2017:
• There were 5,172 motorcyclists killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes – a decrease of 3 percent from the 5,337 motorcyclists killed in 2016.
• Two-wheeled motorcycles accounted for 91 percent of all motorcycles in fatal crashes.
• Motorcyclists accounted for 14 percent of all traffic fatalities and 17 percent of all occupant (driver and passenger) fatalities.
• Of the 5,172 motorcyclists killed in traffic crashes, 94 percent (4,885) were riders and 6 percent (287) were passengers. Table 1 presents information about motorcyclists killed and injured from 2008 to 2017. From 2008 to 2017, motorcyclist fatalities decreased by 3 percent and peaked around 2008 and again in 2016. Motorcyclist fatalities increased from 4,594 in 2014 to 5,029 in 2015 to 5,337 in 2016 and then decreased to 5,172 in 2017. The number of registered motorcycles and motorcycle vehicle miles traveled (VMT) are also presented in Table 1, along with the respective fatality and injury rates.
And telling - the risk we incur -
Motorcycles are more dangerous than cars:
Motorcycles made up 3 percent of all registered vehicles in the United States in 2017 and accounted for only 0.6 percent of all vehicle miles traveled. Per registered vehicle, the fatality rate for motorcyclists in 2017 was 6 times the fatality rate for passenger car occupants, as shown in Table 2. Per VMT in 2017, motorcyclist fatalities occurred nearly 27 times more frequently than passenger car occupant fatalities in motor vehicle traffic crashes.
