Our philosophy is inspired by free-spirited, positive thinking individuals who are optimistic, sympathetic, determined, open-minded, inspiring, non-conformist and fun. Simply said--MOTORESS is an attitude, a lifestyle, a woman, a ride.
Whether we’re talking motorcycling life, product or happenings--touring, philosophy, gear or machinery, we aim to sustain that positive energy in everything we do.
Founded in 2006, our company was re-named “MOTORESS” after its prior successful endeavour, RaceGirl Motorsport in The Netherlands. RaceGirl was founded in 1998 and proceeded to grow by way of the internet to a popular motorcycling community for women worldwide! MOTORESS exists from the winning formula RaceGirl created!
“MOTOR” is the Dutch word for “motorcycle” and “ESS” is a suffix forming nouns which denotes female persons or animals (it was adopted in Middle English from the Old French form "esse"; from late Latin "issa")—we've used it to signify motorcycling and women--that’s MOTORESS!

MOTORESS is Proud Partner of the Look Good Feel Better Program to Support Women With Cancer.
Since 1992, Look Good Feel Better has been empowering women with cancer
to face their illness and its treatment with courage; to look towards the future with greater confidence. It was created with the belief that if a woman with cancer can be helped to look good, chances are she’ll feel better, her spirits will be lifted and she’ll be empowered to face her illness with greater confidence. With Look Good Feel Better women learn simple cosmetic tips and hair alternative techniques to help them manage the appearance-related effects of their illness.
MOTORESS as charity partner with Look Good Feel Better, Canada’s only cancer charity dedicated to helping women manage the appearance-related effects of cancer and its treatment brings awareness for the cancer support program.
Look Good Feel Better workshops work wonders and have changed the lives of more than 100,000 women that have benefitted from participation in Look Good Feel Better programs. Beyond beauty, it’s the support from other women, the sharing of empowering information, support of compassionate volunteers and laughter that helps workshop participants gain confidence, lift spirits and take control.
