The report examined trends and rates of motorcycle riders (motorcyclists) killed in motor vehicle crashes during the ten year period 1990-1999, and the research note compared the trends and rates in the report with the 2000 data. This research note compares recently released results from the 2001 Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) to the trends and rates in the earlier report and research note. (A)
