Nah, doesn't neccesarily follow. There could be bikes ahead of it that are crashed by a lot of men and no women, and others that are crashed by a lot of women but not men.

If you look at the bikes in the ordering that still doesn't follow ...

Also lets face it, not only are female riders in a minority (what do you reckon, 5% of riders??) but I'd say they generally crash less too ... I could be wrong with my % reckoning (anyone know a true % female riders??), but I'd say that the female rider contribution to CRASH statistics is so minor that it'd struggle to sway/skew the results ... I reckon by sheer numbers alone woman probably account for no more than 5% of the total crashes!?!? ...

You expect me to actually read the thing I'm commenting on? Are you mad?

It's interesting, but if the info is so accurate and meaningful, why present it in such a simple way with no explanation of what "most likely" means. Most crashes overall? Most per example on the road atm? Most per mile covered?

There's lies, damned lies and then statistics.

Also, there's a helluva lot of SV's on the road, so you'd expect them to figure well up the charts. I wonder what the ratio of bike model to prangs looks like across the range?

I dont think there's even much 'statistics' gone on there. No explanation 'hows its comed up' with.
But the GS600F crashes are probably mercy killings.

Triumph----Mid Essex-----

I'm thinking insurance claims for the stats.

I may have crashed but I didn't claim.

Quite.

Whichever way they are sourced, I find the top rung Vespa ET4 a surprise ... not that I am looking out for them, but I didn't even realise they existed ... I had to look a picture up ... ... http://www.auction-air.com/auction_2...espa1_w400.jpg ...

I can see how Bandits and GIXERS could come high up as they span back a few years now and there are so many of them out there, but is there really that many Vespa ET4s sold to be able to compete with Bandits/GIXERS even if only 1% of them go down????? I'd like to see the sales figures of ET4s and take out shares in PIAGGIO

Or is it just that every ET4 sold gets crashed?!!? might be the same bloke/burd that every time they get a new off the insurance they fall straight off it again?!!?!?
