When asked “does a higher gas price effect your riding?” 825 motorcycle owners responded. Of that number, 41% said they ride more, 3% said they ride less and 56% said there was no change.

“While you’d think that high gas prices would cause higher motorcycle usage,” said Uwe Druckenmueller, CEO of Cruiser Customizing, Inc., “we were surprised at how significant the number was.”
