Kawasaki’s Ninja 300 is the highest-selling road model so far in 2014, with Honda leading the overall sales charts combined to date this year.
Motorcycle sales were down 2.5 percent in the first quarter of 2014, with sales in the off-road motorcycle segment taking a significant 9.4 percent hit compared to sales in the same period of last year.
Road motorcycle sales were strong however, with 3.3 percent more road bikes sold between January and March 2014, than in the same period one year ago. The 11,151 road motorcycle sales made up nearly 44 per cent of the total 25,383 new motorcycle, all-terrain vehicle (ATV) and scooter combined sales across Australia.
Releasing the first quarter motorcycle sales figures, FCAI chief executive Tony Weber said Honda was the leading volume manufacturer with 4716 units sold. Honda was followed by Yamaha with 4,322 units, Kawasaki with 2882 units and Suzuki with 2174.
“Honda also led the volume race in the road motorcycle market, selling 2097 of the total 11,151 sold,” Weber added. “Honda was followed closely by Harley-Davidson with 2069 sales. Kawasaki came in third, selling 1641,” Mr Weber said.
“The figures show that, in particular, KTM, BMW, Yamaha, Indian, Kymco, Aprilia and Moto Guzzi have seen significant growth in the road motorcycle market this year, compared to the first quarter of 2013.”
