According to the English Motorcycle Industry Association (MCIA) , out of the 5.5 million motorcycle/scooter riders in the UK, 15 % are female;- this means some 750,000 female bikers.
20% ride Supersports motorcycles
18% ride Sport/Tourer motorcycles
14% ride Customs
11% ride Off-road bikes
7% ride Touring motorcycles
However, female riders ride slightly less than men; the English biker ladies ride an average of 3,450 miles per year, while 2/3 use their motorcycles 3 times per week (1/3 uses them every day). 70% use their motorcycle/scooter all year round.
In the UK, there’s even a specialized motorcycle course designed for females (Girls Angels).

And from this site: http://www.bluemts.com.au/womenriders/statistics.htm
In Australia, women are 10% of riders yet have less than 5% of accidents and less than 2% of fatalities. However women learners have 39% of remedial lessons.
I’m looking for USA stats on women and motorcycling. I’ve heard that one out of every four motorcycles in the USA is bought by a woman.
