Traffic accidents are rife as transportation modes develop. Motorcycles are one of the vehicles most at risk of having an accident, especially on the types of roads in Indonesia. There are so many literature which discussed about analysis of driving behavior factors to reduce the impact of the risk of traffic accidents. This study aims to analyze the factors of attitude and perception in riding using a motorcycle based on the perspective of the gender. This research method uses correspondence analysis as one of multivariate analysis from the results of a motorcycle rider questionnaire data collection. The results show that of the 12 combined attributes of perceptions and attitudes, 7 of them are dominated by female, while the remaining 5 attributes are dominated by male. Future studies are expected to discuss and analyze in detail related to several alternative solutions that lead to the needs of each different genders.
