Despite continuous advancements in technology surrounding safety and security, motorcycle thefts in the US continue to rise. A recent report by the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) states that close to 55,000 motorcycles were stolen in 2022 alone. This marks a rather alarming seven-percent increase versus the previous year.
Given this data, 2022 is the third consecutive year that the US has seen rising motorbike thefts. Unsurprisingly, the summer months ranked the highest for motorcycle theft, as a lot of riders are out on the road, and many bikes are left out of storage for easy access. The lowest month in terms of thefts was February, with 2,879 cases reported, while thefts peaked in July, with a whopping 6,394 bikes reported stolen. Overall, an average of 4,561 motorcycles were stolen in the US every month.
