Don't be a victim of bike theft

In November last year, MCN reported that 15 bikes were stolen within minutes in the Dorset area and were later found dumped and smashed up in a nearby ditch.

Unfortunately, theft is becoming an ever increasing issue throughout the UK and the impact on the owner can be devastating.

We also reported back in December that researchers have identified increasing thefts of budget bikes including Lexmoto and Gileras.

The details of the top 13 bike models were compiled from data on the Police National Computer.

With this in mind, Motorcycle News has developed a handy infographic to help you. The infographic includes data on top crime areas in the UK and advice on how to combat crime and keep your bike secure.
