Top 5 Most Stolen & Crashed Bikes, (Monday, June 27, 2005) [Excerpt
from Ontario East Retreads® July 2005 newsletter] The Progressive Group
of Insurance Companies published a list of the top 5 most stolen motorcycles, and the top 5 most crashed bikes:
Most Likely to be Stolen 1) Suzuki GSX-R Series;
2) Yamaha YZF Series; 3) Honda CBR Series; 4) Suzuki Hayabusa; 5) Kawasaki Ninja Series.
Least Likely
to be Stolen 1) Suzuki Savage; 2) BMW R1200C; 3) Honda Rebel Series; 4) Honda Shadow Series; 5) Yamaha V-Star.
Most Likely
to be Crashed 1) Suzuki
GSX-R Series; 2) Kawasaki Ninja Series; 3) Suzuki TLR; 4) Yamaha YZF Series; 5) Honda CBR Series.
Least Likely
to be Crashed 1) Yamaha
Virago Series; 2) Honda Rebel Series; 3) Suzuki Savage; 4) Harley-Davidson FXR; 5) BMW R1200C.
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
its 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 that
these statistics are based on claims data covering more than 2 million insured riders over the past three years. – Steve (Ontario East Retreads®)
