abstract="Motorcyclists are the highest contributors to road fatality statistics in Malaysia, particularly young riders. This warrants a study to be carried out to understand the overall accident characteristics and investigate the associated risk factors. Secondary data from police records (POL 27) were utilized using three years of accident records (2006 - 2008). Results shown that the following factors led to a higher probability of being killed or severely injured (KSI) for young motorcycle riders; being a male motorcyclist, riding with a learner probationary license or without a license, riding with an improper helmet or without wearing any, being involved in a crash that happens during the wee hours, being involved in a crash that happens during dawn or dusk or in the dark with and without street lighting, being involved in a crash that happens at built-up or rural areas and being involved in a head-on collision.<p />",
