Over 5000 people a year die off motorbikes.
Not sure what you're trying to say here: if you mean that there are 5k road deaths a year in the UK that involve motorbikes, that's simply not true.
In the year to June 2021, there were about 1400 road deaths in the UK across all forms of transport.
For motorbikes, the 5 year average 2015-2020 is a bit over 300 deaths (6 a week), and a bit under 6k serious injuries (115 a week).
Thanks, I mistakenly did the KSI numbers, and that's why I was stunned.
