We realize that more motorcycle<\/a> owners nowadays are ladies, and now we know expanding rates of all proprietors are\u00a0 married and school graduates, and they’re commonly more established, as indicated by the 2018 Motorcycle Industry Council Owner Survey.<\/p>\n

\u201cDemographics are changing for Americans across the country and it\u2019s no different for motorcycle owners,\u201d said MIC President and CEO Tim Buche. \u201cFor decades, the MIC Owner Survey has told us a lot about who we are, and we\u2019re now learning how things have shifted since our last study was done in 2014. Some of the stats are encouraging, like the increasing number of women owners, while other data, such as the rising median age, show where we have more work to do.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Gender, Age, Marital Status
\n<\/strong>Male Owners \u2013 81 percent
\nFemale Owners \u2013 19 percent<\/p>\n

Median Age
\n<\/strong>2018 \u2013 50
\n2014 \u2013 47
\n2012 \u2013 45<\/p>\n

Married
\n<\/strong>2018 \u2013 68 percent
\n2014 \u2013 61 percent
\n2012 \u2013 63 percent<\/p>\n

Education, Income and Work Status<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n2014 \u2013 20 percent
\n2012 \u2013 17 percent<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>2018 \u2013 $62,500
\n2014 \u2013 $62,200
\n2012 \u2013 $64,100<\/p>\n

Employed \u2013 71 percent
\nRetired \u2013 24 percent<\/p>\n

The owner survey also uncovered trends<\/a> among the emerging group of millennial motorcyclists. More than half have taken a training course and use their bikes frequently for commuting<\/a>. Sixty-nine percent say they are interested in electric motorcycles<\/a>, citing fuel and the environment as top drivers.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the past several years, manufacturers have offered more great entry-level motorcycles at affordable prices,\u201d Buche said, \u201cwhile at the same time focusing on increasing the industry\u2019s outreach to millennials.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
