The National Insurance Crime Bureau reports, that in 2012, there was a small drop in motorcycle thefts….only 46,000 bikes were stolen.
California, Florida and Texas led in thefts per state but New York City, Las Vegas and San Diego were the worst overall. Honda was the most stolen bike followed by Suzuki. So if you ride a Honda in New York City….lock it up! 😉
Another item of good news is that if your Honda in NYC is stolen the chance for recovery has increased. In 2011 only 37% of stolen motorcycles were recovered, in 2012 that increased to 39%! See the full article here
