Litre+ bikes have recovered. 650-1000 are more or less steady. A small bump for 126-650, but still down year on year.
125s remain 30% down on last year, and that's the majority of pre-Euro4-bollocks pre-reggers cleared out, so this looks like a sustained slump. Sad times, sad times.
Little surprise, the Tracer 700 actually edges out the R1200GS for adventure sports, but it's not a new plate month. The Bonny Bobber tops the customs over any Harley. Honda clear up the flaccid 125 market. The Vespa 300 wins in the 126-650 class, which is fast becoming an also-ran capacity.
Overall Yamaha are nipping closely at Honda's heels for overall sales, and likely with higher margins.
The usual suspects are showing: Triumph, BMW, a decent month for Kawasaki, with Suzuki propping up the top 10.
Surprisingly, Lexmoto appear in 7th, which confirms that the 2016 pre-reggers have sold and we're into Eurobollocks 125s now. But even with that, numbers are way down.
What does this bode for the future of the bikey-bike-bro-brotherhood? ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

120+ Bobbers
Suzuki
So, overall, the arse has fallen out of the small bike market whilst the larger capacity / high end bike market is relatively stable, propped up by beardy hipster and Charlie McBoreman's.
2 + 2 = 4; Euro4 compliance has ruined everything. |

Ah, yes, good spot.
Suzuki also tend to do well in months where they've got BOGOF-stylee offers on. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

LCD dash, MCN gush, desparate for something good to say about it.
£4600 for the bare bike.
"MODEL SHOWN MAY INCLUDE OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES"
They will never, ever show it without every optional extra bolted on.
Still, "Honley" have thrown in the towel on the Zongshen RX-3 250 (46 bikes sold), and the Verysys 300 starts at £5250 and up, so if they apply the usual Suzuki fire sale discount from new, it might find a market.
It makes more sense putting that Inazuma lump into an adventure-commuter than a "sportsbike" anyway. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

They are nearly all bought on finance, with as many accessories as they can fit onto the thing. Watching them try and filter on the M25 is pure comedy as they weave the panniers between wing mirrors.
If i could be arsed to go find that website that lists out all the BMW faults .... i wouldn't want one without a full warranty.
"Did 2000 miles in 2 years on my GS ..... most reliable bike I've ever had"
"liked it so much, i bought another one and so far, in the 700 miles I've done it's been as reliable as the first one".
Move that on to 15k and out of warranty and stuff starts to look less rosy. Not that I think others are vastly better, but you really do need to know a good independent garage unless you want your pockets rinsing.
I liked the F700GS I did my DAS on, it was comfortable but ultimately dull and I don't really need a dull motorbike.
