Bikes join cars with record sales

17 Jan, 2008 6 Comments

With car sales topping the one million mark this year, it’s not unreasonable to expect motorcycle sales to follow the upward trend.

The FCAI (Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries) figures show a 9% rise in bike sales bringing the total number for 2007 to 129,966 units, a new record.

Japanese bikes are seemingly most desirable with Honda the market leader selling 32,946 bikes and scooters, followed by Yamaha on 28,998 and Suzuki on 17,255.

As I commute to and from work I am noticing HEAPS more bikes and scooters, especially through the warmer months. I guess people enjoy cheaper transport, free parking and a quicker trip.

I’m not sure Japanese bikes are more desirable when compared with two wheeled porn from the likes Ducati and MV Augusta but they are certainly a lot cheaper!

I have a suggestion.

I put my hand up a while ago to help but Alborz (understandably as he is probably busy) hasn’t replied to anything from me since July/August last year.
