ATV and Off Road Motor Cycle Sales Increase
15 January 2012
ATV and Off Road Motor Cycle Sales
Increase
Strong sales in the ATV (quad bike) ( up
10.9%); off road motor cycles (up 8.9%) and under 50cc on
road bike sales ( up 7.3%) saw the motor cycle sector up a
total 6.6% on 2010 sales.
“The strength of the rural
sector and higher petrol prices were the reasons for a
relatively buoyant year for the new motor cycle sector”,
said Mr Clive Hellyar, Manager of the Motor Cycle Division
of the Motor Industry Association. “Only the on road
category of over 50 cc saw declining sales ( down 3.5%) part
of which can be attributed to the ongoing effect of high in
ACC levies” he said.
Total new on road registrations
for 2011 were 6376 compared with 2010 registrations of 6351.
Total off road sales for 2011 were 13106 units compared with
11945 units for 2010.
The top three in off road
product sales were Honda, Suzuki and Yamaha. These three
companies also led in on road registrations.
