Data

There are more motorcyclists on Florida’s roadways today than ever before. Our state, known for its sunny weather, beautiful beaches, and scenic highways, is a great place to ride motorcycles year-round. As the host of popular motorcycle rallies such as Biketoberfest and Daytona Bike Week, Florida is also a popular destination for motorcycle enthusiasts from around the world.  

As of July 20254, Florida had 1,462,8651,460,576 drivers with motorcycle endorsements and 666,851 671,694 registered motorcycles. Ridership figures are expected to grow, as the number of Florida motorcycle registrations has increased by around 1% annually, and the number of motorcycle endorsements has increased by about 3% every year since 2010.   

Unfortunately, Florida has also observed a corresponding rise in serious and fatal motorcyclist injuries on its roadways. In recent years, Florida has exceeded 500 motorcyclist fatalities annually, reaching a total of 587621 fatalities in 2025*3. Furthermore, motorcyclists are consistently over-represented in Florida traffic fatalities, making up 17-20% of all traffic fatalities while only representing about 3% of vehicle registrations and less than 1% of annual traffic counts.  The growing number of residents and visitors in Florida who love riding motorcycles make motorcyclist safety an important issue.
