Most people kille dbetween age 21 and 34 is a result of trauma anyway so those stats arent much of a reach anyway, and seems like theyre stating the obvious anyway.

I'd hazard a somewhat educated 'guess' that you'll find the same age banded stats for cars.

And, uh, duh that sportbikes are in the higher % - what 21 year old can afford a brand new freakin' Harley (or would want to when they can get a brand new sportbike for a fraction of the cost)? I'd wager that if Harley's were cheaper you'd see just as many crashes in that age band with Harleys. Kids like to go fast - that ain't rocket science.

I believe there are statistics to support that.

Have you ever rode a Harley? If so you need all four fingers.
