More and more motorcycles appear on the roads, which can be seen, for example, on the basis of statistic data presented by the Central Statistical Office. The data shows that every year there are more newly registered motorcycles and that there are many road accidents involving two-wheelers. The following work presents a review of the existing literature related to crash tests of motorcycles and dummies. The paper presents the standards according to which the tests are carried out, various crash tests and the stands on which the tests were carried out. The paper presents and describes a dummy used in motorcycle crash tests and presents the differences between its construction and the construction of the Hybrid III dummy
