typical female biker is called sarah and rides a honda

Data from motorcycle insurance aggregator website The Bike Insurer reveals that female riders make up 8% of more than 23,000 quotes sampled.

All of the data analysed has been completely anonymised but the insurer has gleaned that female motorcyclists in the UK ride the Honda CB125F, her name is most likely to be Sarah, and she’s a student living at home in Surrey or East or West Sussex.

The sample of data was taken between 1 May, 2017 and 31 October, 2018.

An overview of the top 20 bikes owned by female riders reveals the Honda CB125F is the most popular by almost double that of the second placed motorcycle; the Honda CBR125R. Hondas dominate the top 10 bikes taking six of the top spots.

British manufacturer Triumph is one of only two firms to sell enough bikes in the midsize category to reach the top 10 with the Triumph Bonneville T100 sixth best-selling. The Triumph Street Triple and Street Triple R feature in the top 25.
