Arrow Up 25% on last year pretty much across the board.
Arrow The new Africa Twin gave the big Nazi Tractor a comprehensive shoeing. Even the Austrians and Eyeties thrashed the Hun this month.
Arrow Lexmoto hold on to #2, beating off Yamaha for the 2nd month running.

And are offering a 2 year warranty instead of the standard 1 year. Shame that it's only for 16 plates purchased anytime this month (March 2016) rather than a permanent offer.

Over three times as many sales. It'll be interesting to see if they can keep that up over the next few months once the novelty has worn off, or if it just pent-up demand. Maybe all the city workers will decide they want to pretend they are on the Dakar rather than going Long Way to the Office.

I reckon that Tractor sales are periodic. They bring out a "new" model most years with another gadget on it, like the totally unnecessary steering damper that they fitted after many, many completely untrue reports of tank slappers like the one that didn't happen which didn't result in the death of Kevin Ash.

March = new registrations = dem PCP "sales". They'll bounce back this month.

I'd also suggest the Africa Twins are on similar PCP deals. Maybe in three years I might be able to get me a knocked down priced garage queen example that only offroading it has seen in a gravel car park.

Not that I would off road it, but I'd at least ride it.

The £2999 RC125's have probably boosted KTM sales.

Pleased to see KTM up there. I like what they are doing with their small bikes. Just waiting on the mythical 800cc twin to come out of development.

From the looks of it though the winner of the 50-125cc sales takes all. The market is just so much larger at that CC level.
