Sport Bike Accidents in Oklahoma City

Oklahoma City Motorcycle Accident Attorney

Sport bikes are motorcycles optimized for speed and performance. They are designed for their acceleration, cornering, braking and overall maneuverability on paved roads. Sport bikes are versatile and may be used by riders for racing, traveling or for day-to-day commuting. Since their broad introduction on the market in 1969 with the Honda CV750, sport bikes have continued to rise in popularity throughout the United States.

With more and more sport bikes on the road today, the likelihood of an accident is also increased. A sport bike is much smaller than a standard passenger car and may therefore be less visible, particularly if a motorist is already distracted or is driving in a negligent or careless manner.

This may leave the rider of a sport bike at serious risk of injury. A sport bike collision will typically occur because another driver does not see the motorcycle as a result of negligence. Some collisions may also occur due to obstacles in the road, poor road maintenance, heavy weather or defective bike or auto parts.
