Motor cycle numbers have really accelerated in the past five years

Motor cycle registrations grew at a faster rate than any other type of vehicle over the past five years, according to figures released today by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).

"From 2008 to 2013, motor cycle registrations - including scooters - went up by over 30 per cent", said Sybille McKeown, ABS Director of Transport Statistics, "while cars only saw an increase of 10 per cent."
