“孩子们并没有涉足摩托车”，或者至少，这就是我们在2010年代从许多关注的内部人士那里听到的故事，他们觉得他们不应该尽可能多地摩托车。Maybe they were right, maybe they were wrong, but we’ve certainly seen dealership after dealership selling out of small-to-medium displacement motorcycles over the past three years, as well as most of the big-bore bikes, as long as the price tags are reasonable. And, those sales numbers are backed up by a boost in new-rider training.

英国的最新数据显示，那里有很大的跳跃，新车手的数量模块2骑行测试超过2021-2022的历史高度。根据英国官方政府号码（可用这里），在2021年4月至2022年3月之间，有67,511名车手参加了模块2测试。这比以往任何时候都多2,000名。

通过模块2并不能保证您会成为一名终身摩托车手，但它表明您已经掌握了道路的基本骑行技巧和规则，并且知道如何对自行车进行基本的安全检查。如果您通过模块2，则朝着正确的方向前进。成功完成后，您可以立即开始在公共街道上骑行。

That’s good news, but note that the bast majority of riders taking the Module 2 test were male, outnumbering female riders by a ratio of about 12 to 1. No doubt this is something the industry would very much like to change, and we already see some marketing campaigns (Royal Enfield, for instance) making a massive effort in this area here at home in North America.
