A new survey, which attempted to get a broad overview of the motorbike riding public's biggest worries, has been released this week, with some surprising results.
Carried out by Bennetts motorbike insurance, the survey found that the number one concern for bikers is the potential for fuel price rises.
Because of the credit-crunch many people are finding it harder and harder to meet all their monthly expenses so it is no wonder that fuel costs would be top of the list of worries of 40% of the respondents.
Even though the price of oil has been consistently dropping for the last few months, there has been no sign of any dramatic decrease in the price at the pump.
In fact, recent news suggests that unleaded may now have crept back over 90p per litre.
According to analysts, this is a rise of 5p on the low point that occur on the 6th of January.
A spokesman for the AA, who have been monitoring the price rises, called on the oil industry to make clear the reasons for any rise.
"We can see from wholesale price data for last year that gasoline market prices fell by 5-10% in January last year, yet petrol prices rose in the same period.
There may be perfectly valid reasons for the current price rises, but a repetition of last year's behaviour should not be happening again in times of dire family finances.
" The petroleum industry said that the price rises were caused by a number of factors including tax and availability.
Other findings Another major worry that was discovered by the survey was the increasing number of people using the roads.
Britain has long had some of the most congested roads in Europe and many bikers worried that it would only get worse.
Speed cameras, bad road conditions and bike theft filled out the top five major worries.
The future is electric? In these times of rising costs and stretched family finances the unveiling of new high powered superbike would seem to be sure-fire loser, but the Mission One, is no ordinary superbike.
Powered by an electric motor, the bike has a top speed of 150mph and a range of 150 miles.
The bike can be recharged from a home power supply in less than three hours and is a massive step towards making the widespread use of electric motorbikes possible.
"The performance of this electric motorcycle is no compromise on its petrol-engined counterparts, so if it can make it to the marketplace at a competitive price there is a good chance it will be successful.
" Said the Environmental Transport Association.
"At present, electric cars and bikes are expensive compared with their petrol counterparts, but these are early days for mass-produced electric cars and bikes - the price of these green vehicles should eventually drop in price.
"
