By, of course, Bennetts.
tl;dr version - 2017 was about the same as 2015. It only looks awful when you compare it to the 2016 pre-Eurobollocks fire sale bonanza.

Why didn't they have their actuaries look at it?!
I'll give the data to Team Geek in the cupboard and see if they come to a different conclusion
Trend from 13 and 14 would be interesting to look at, too. When did the progressive access BS start again? |

Quite interesting actually. It looks like there was a distinct upward trend in Motorcycle sales from 2011 onward, with a distinct uptick from 2014, but 2016 sits well outside of the pack especially Q4. 2017 is definitely in the pack but regardless of the 2016 'bump' it does appear the bubble has burst. Notwithstanding that, 2017 is still 22.1% up on 2011 so the trend is still not a disaster.

Which is the almost extreme opposite of tiddlers. The trend is downward across the piece and shows no sign of abating. Even 2016 was a sucker.

Why don't you go ask your mu- oh, you did.
I guess if you average out 2016 + 2017 then it's still pretty good, #DespiteBrexit.
When the bollocks kicked in, Lexmoto's cheapest bollocks-bike was £2K, which I expect hurt the low end sales. They've managed to get a few £1400 hacks now which should attract the tightwads back.
Still, pressure on 125 used prices is going to be upwards for a while. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

When we say "tiddlers", are we talking mopeds or 125s?
"Tiddler" graphs above look more like peds.
