The aim of this report is to provide an overview of knowledge regarding motorcycling that can be applied to South Australia. To this end, recent relevant literature published prior to 2010 was reviewed. Areas of interest include: the number of motorcyclists, the motorcycles they ride, riding exposure, motorcycle crashes, motorcycling injuries, attitudes, training and countermeasures. The report is not an exhaustive examination of these issues but a general overview allowing for identification of knowledge gaps in South Australia that would be suitable for research. An analysis of the costs of motorcycle crashes in South Australia is provided in an appendix.
