Abstract

This study presents an analysis of injuries sustained by high performance small motorcycle users in Malaysia and establishes the relationship between risk and human factors, exposure and vehicle factors resulting from motorcycle crashes.  From the data gathered a statistical model based on logistics regression modeling technique has been developed.  Five variables found to have a significant influence on fatality risk were: age, location, engine capacity, object/vehicle struck and collision types.
