New Motorcycle Registrations September 2023

 

So far in 2023 (January to September inclusive), 112,653 bikes have been sold. Compared to 2022, this means growth of 17.4 percent - not bad. If you look at the individual machines, Kawasaki in particular stands out positively: Three models from the Japanese manufacturer can be found in the top 5. In addition to the long-running Z900 and Z650, the Kawasaki Ninja 650 has now also been added.

 

Honda continues to benefit from the ongoing trend towards mid-range machines. In addition to the CB 750 Hornet, the Rebel 500, the CBR 650 R, the CL 500 and the CRF 300X (!) are also selling very well. Suzuki's newcomers GSX-8 S and V-Strom 800 DE also continue to climb up in the registration statistics. In terms of market share, Suzuki was able to leave Triumph and Ducati behind and is now in a solid 7th place. The BMW R 1250 GS will probably have to give up its long-standing 1st place in October - no wonder, because the new BMW R 1300 GS is already on sale.
