The five top reasons women are enticed by motorcycle riding

1. Adventure - Women love the adventure that comes along with riding a motorcycle. 
2. Evolved Marketing - The motorcycle industry has made a significant shift to include women in their marketing campaigns, since the increase of female riders. Similarly, there are many companies creating “women-friendly” motorcycles that feature unique adjustments such as lower seat height, lightweight, expanded colour options.  
3. Sense of Freedom – Everyone who has enjoyed a motorcycle ride knows how powerful and freeing it feels. Women are no different, they share the infectious and liberating joy that comes from the open road.  
4. Overcoming Fears - Many women like to challenge themselves and try something new.  Learning to ride a motorcycle establishes a feeling of accomplishment.
5. A Sense of Community – anyone who rides can attest to the comradery of the motorcycle community – there is a specific and unique brotherhood/sisterhood that connects all riders.  

Considering the growth of female-driven events such as the International Female Ride Day, we know there will continue to be more women representation within our motorcycle community.
