Motorcycling in Victoria

In Victoria there are more than 200,000 registered motorcycles. Many riders use them as a convenient way of getting around and dealing with congested traffic. They are often cheaper than running a car.

Motorcycle riders are more vulnerable than people in cars and are at greater risk on our roads.
