Motorcycle Upgrade
Allow Motorcyclists to identify as motorcyclist then:
1. Allow he/she to connect with other riders they encounter on their past trip. Sometimes you end up riding with someone you don't know and you don't want to follow them home to link up so if you could add a feature for motorcyclists to connect with one another (" Hey great ride while you were out there you rode with .... for x miles")
- Update location of Motorcycles as hazard updates on everyone's map. ( How cool would it be if while sitting in bottleneck traffic Waze says "Motorcyclist approaching from the rear" you could scoot over for the guy and let him cut the lanes.

Thank you for your suggestion! As you may know, Waze already has Motorcycle Mode included in the app. To change your vehicle type, tap Settings > Car Details > Vehicle type.

Have been a Waze user for very long time. Start using it on my motorcycle lately. Listening to it via Bluetooth headset.
I second point 3 form 'Rarebit'.
Since no option to choose motorcycle, you get treated same as vehicle driver...while riding motorcycle has clear benefit in traffic. -

3. Use other spec for motorcyclists... what is a trafiic jam for cars usually is not for motorcyclists, and if a motorcyclist is moving slower than usual it may be a complete standstill for cars. So motorcyclists using waze should not get the same routing treatment for traffic jams, and their data should also not be used to build up traffic information.
Maybe also look at this proposal: https://www.waze.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=657&t=113062
Actually 1) looks good for stalkers, and 2) is not that useful I think and will result in a lot of messages (which for the moment can't be switched off)
