Motorcycle lighting is all about addressing the driver’s need to see and be seen. Motorcycling is a popular form of transportation and recreation. It excels in providing convenient, affordable personal mobility. Motorcycle enthusiasts enjoy the feeling of a sensory, exhilarating rush that they simply cannot get on four-wheel vehicles. A universal truth of motorcycling, however, is that motorcycling is not only physically and physiologically demanding to the driver, riding a motorcycle is also more dangerous than driving a car and there is a much higher risk when driving at night or under adverse weather conditions.
Lighting is one of the critically important elements of driving safety, especially during foul weather and night rides. It must illuminate obstacles and hazards coming your way in the dark of the night and allow other road users to see the vehicle’s presence, position, size, direction of travel, and your intentions regarding direction and speed of travel. Beyond being crucial to facilitate a safe and fatigue-free ride, lighting heavily influences the look of a motorcycle and can give distinctive radiance that is sure to take the vehicle to the next level in style.
