Motorcycle manufacturers should care more about their riding consumer, because that motorcycle riding consumer puts their trust in them that the motorcycle they are driving is safe.
Defectiv products injure people every day. Many times, the defect is not known to the manufacturer until it is too late. Other times, it is discovered that the manufacturer should have known of the defect prior to sending the product into the marketplace. In the most egregious circumstances, manufacturers know of the defect and still release it into market.
