No big drama this month, more or less similar to 2017 (which was a poor year).

Scootay sales took a bit of a dip[*], and supersports continue their death spiral. But "customs" (wow such Factory, very Rebel) make a good showing.

The Tracer 900 manages to beat the R1200GS for top spot in adventure, although the GS + GS Adventure together would whup it.

Nice little win for Honda's Rebel 500 in the 126-650 category, although Harley sold more Sportster X 1200s.

Yamaha are nipping at Honda's heels, with Triumph continuing their strong sales and Harley making hay before the sanctions hit.

[*] No showing at all for Piaggo / Vespa. I wonder if that London's acid-stabbyfest is leading scootay buyers to catch the bus.

Am I right in presuming this should just about be the best month of the year for sales?

The beginning of summer and all that.
