Answer
It is not possible to identify from centrally held data the number of defendants convicted of an offence of impersonating a police officer while riding a motorcycle as there is no specific offence code for this offence and is therefore not identifiable specifically within court data reported centrally to the MoJ.
However, the number of defendants convicted for the broader offence of impersonating a police officer can be found in the link:
Search ‘offence’ for ‘195 Police Act 1996 S.90 - Impersonation of member of police force or special constable’.
