But you're looking at it from the point of view that if you're into bikes, you must like bike racing. Whereas probably 50% or more motorcyclists probably ride for pleasure, or as a cheap means of getting from A-B, not to do it at lightening speed.
What's the ratio of sports bikes to every other bike on the road?
My Mum drives a car, doesn't mean she wants to be an F1 driver, or have any interest in the sport. |
No, that's not what I meant. I was thinking about overall figures for bikers, male and female. There are plenty of male bikers who have no interest in racing, let alone desire to race themselves, just as there will be for women.
All I'm saying is, for every hundred men who have a bike license, regardless of the type of bike, how many also race, and what is a comparable figure for women. That would be a fairer comparison of how many women race. Who knows, it might even turn out that more women race than men, based on total numbers, or then again it might not!
