![]() The supersport segment, to give it the proper name, offers some fantastic options for those who are looking for the perfect ratio of handling, speed, excitement, and affordability. With around 600cc on offer, these bikes are incredibly light and nimble but they’re also fast and furious too. WRN’s balance of content has always reflected the ratio of the styles of motorcycles women are choosing.Thanks for expressing your opinion so that I could clear up any assumptions that are not based on facts.The 600cc motorcycle category is an incredibly popular segment of the bike industry – and for good reason. I’ve been following the women’s motorcycling market closely since 1999 including the growth, trends, motorcycles, gear, you name it. ![]() So, all that to say… ’s survey results and reader input do reflect the general women’s motorcycle population. With the increase of availability of sport touring motorcycles over the last six years, that style of motorcycle has become slightly more popular among women than the sportbike. It’s been pretty consistent over that time period, except for the fact that there used to be more females riding sportbikes than sport tourers. I am privy to this information and have been for 15 years. Cruisers are ridden by more than half of all women riders, with sport touring, sportbike, standard and dual sport making up the remaining 50 percent, in that order. In addition to gender, other questions that are asked of each gender are what particular style of motorcycle is ridden/owned. The vast majority of women riders are “older” women, that is women over 40 and the majority of those women choose cruiser style motorcycles, hence the results of this top 10 list.A leading motorcycle industry trade association does a survey every five years of new bike owners based on new motorcycle registrations, as well as all owners of motorcycles for that particular year. You are right, the majority of younger women do choose more of a sportbike style, however, the number of those riders represent a very small segment of the overall female motorcycling population, not enough to make it into the Top 10 list of most popular motorcycles. We do our best to review and promote BMWs that are favorable to women giving each manufacturer its fair share of time on WRN. We’re glad you and your friends have discovered that. Plus, their motorcycles meet most of the criteria the majority of women are looking for when buying a motorcycle.BMWs are awesome motorcycles. which company is marketing to women.This list are facts based on research.Harley leads the way - with no one behind them - in aggressively marketing to women. This is a fact! The main criteria for women when choosing a motorcycle are:- ease of being able to put both feet on the ground when seated- comfort- storage space- which manufacturer is making the loudest noise, i.e. Sportbikes and sport tourers are ridden by less than 50 percent of women. You can see our story here where Harley-Davidson leads in market share among women.So a list such as this that summarizes the motorcycles most women are riding would naturally result in Harleys, and cruisers. The majority of the population of female riders in the U.S. Folks in the Road Star Clinic forum have these bikes and have 100,000 miles or more on them, and they are still clicking right along.The bikes listed here are all good ones, but don’t forget the Road Star for ladies looking for a reliable fun touring solution that has just about everything you need on it right off the showroom floor. I have only had mine since July ’14 and she has 7,000 miles on her. For ladies looking to move up to a good sturdy reliable classic style tourer, you couldn’t ask for a better bike. I actually added this bike to my shopping list when I was test riding bikes, because of an excellent review of the bike here on this site. I am not sure if Yamaha will continue to offer the Road Star after 2014 but there are still ’13s and ’14s out there available. I am looking forward to many many miles on her. She is gorgeous, easy to handle, and fits me well. Then we got the V Star 950, excellent bike to move up to.I now ride my 2013 Road Star Silverado S, which I think I found the last one available in my state. ![]() Twelve thousand miles two-up with camping gear over the space of 16 months.
