Motorcycle rider fatalities decreased each year from 1995 to 1997, reaching a historic low of 2,116 in 1997. Beginning in 1998 motorcycle rider fatalities started to increase each year. Since 1997 motorcycle rider fatalities have increased by 89 percent. NHTSA released a comprehensive report in 2001 based on increases in motorcycle rider fatalities for two consecutive years (1998 and 1999). The latest 2004 data show that motorcycle rider fatalities increased for the seventh year in a row since 1997. This report is an update to the 2001 report and was written to provide insight and update into the continued increasing trend in motorcycle rider fatalities in the recent years. The analysis was based on 1995-2004 data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) along with data from Motorcycle Industry Council (MIC), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and the United States Census Bureau.
