Half a dozen motorcyclists died on Bay of Plenty roads last year, making it one of the region s deadliest in the past decade. The six deaths were all riders and none were passengers. Six riders also died in 2014, and five riders and one passenger died in 2018.
It coincides with New Zealand s deadliest year for motorcyclists in 25 years, with 57 people killed throughout the nation. There were 78 deaths in 1995.
A resurgence in riding after the Covid-19 lockdown and months of little motorcycle use contributed to the deaths, a motorcycle retailer said.
