February 2013 new registration stats

Linkotron.

Same ol' same ol'. Down on last year, although not as much as January was. However, the beatings will continue 15% harder until sales improves.

One good sign is that 126-650s have picked up a bit. However, everything else is down again, even peds and 125s, and litres bikes are down a lot. Presumably the 'smart' money is waiting for the new BMW GS.

Suzuki UK are no-shows again, on the same day that the bankrupt Suzuki USA starts screwing its creditors.

Don't forget that last Jan/Feb was milder than this year, so this affects the sales.

[Rogerborg]

Sales have been falling steadily every year since 2007.

Is the sun going out?

I can't see the 3DLD and the continuing recession magically infusing the sun with fresh hydrogen.

The combination of the two will likely put off anyone under 24 unless they really want to ride.
