The data was gathered by motorcycle finance outfit Moneybarn, which also learned that a motorcyclist was six times more likely to crash on an A-road than a motorway.
A-roads are more perilous due to risks associated with overtaking, unprotected embankments and deceptive bends.
Moneybarn highlighted the most common causes for motorcycle crashes: loss of control (16 per cent) and not looking ahead properly (16 per cent).
The list serves as a reminder to extra take care when you get back in the saddle in the coming warmer months.
