The Progressive Group of Insurance Companies published a list of the top 5 most stolen motorcycles, and the top 5 most crashed bikes:
What I find interesting is that the most crashed bikes are all crotch rockets, while the least crashed are all cruisers.
The reason why I think it's interesting is because I've been reading several news articles over the past year reporting there is a growing problem of older Americans buying up big-twin bikes, and crashing them. Yet here, we have statistical data showing that it's actually the crotch rockets, typically ridden by young riders, that are most often involved in crashes.
Progressive says these statistics are based on claims data covering more than 2 million insured riders over the past three years.
