Frequently asked questions
What is the single best motorcycle manufacturers dataset?
NHTSA Recalls by Manufacturer - Data.gov / DOT Data Hub, on our scoring. Quality 9/10: 30,249 recall campaign rows from January 1966 through August 2026, fifteen columns each, with roughly 630 campaigns naming motorcycles from Honda, BMW, KTM and Harley-Davidson in the defect narrative. No other record in the slice combines sixty years of history, that row count and that documentation consistency in one keyed table.
Which dataset works for a make-model specification reference?
Bikez.com's catalog. It holds 42,574 model-year pages spanning 1894 through 2025 across roughly 611 brands, each page carrying about 70 structured specification attributes - engine configuration, displacement, power, dimensions, weight - plus rider ratings and 128,224 comments across model-series forums. Worldwide coverage includes electric models from their first production years.
Do these records cover US motorcycle sales?
Yes, through the Motorcycle Industry Council. Its Statistical Annual editions cover model years 2014-2026 at segment and model-year grain, including retail sales and buyer demographics; headline totals also circulate in MIC news releases and the RideReport. It scores 5/10 precisely because the continuous monthly retail series are compiled for members - but for the US question it remains the only source in the slice.
How do I monitor motorcycle safety recalls?
Start with the NHTSA recalls dataset: one row per campaign with manufacturer, component, defect narrative and dates, filtered to the roughly 630 motorcycle-involving campaigns among 30,249 total. Pair it with the related NHTSA vPIC record to resolve manufacturer and vehicle identity behind each campaign, and set delivery daily so new campaigns land as they are filed.
