What is the normal recovery time from motorcycle accident?

Recovery time varies: Recover time will vary depending on many factors including age, general health of the patient, infection control, and the type and severity of the injuries.

Sometimes never: Depends on what is injured. Brain injury takes the longest recovery- 1 to 2 years before recovery is maximal. Bones heal, usually in 8 -12 weeks; rib fractures 12 weeks. All assuming you survive the crash.
