Motorcycle sales for the full year 2020: up 16.89 percent

Let's look at the full year 2020: A total of 132,126 motorcycles were sold. This is an increase of almost 17 percent compared to the previous year. If we add 125 and scooters, we are talking about 218,778 two-wheelers sold in 2020 (2019: 165,311) and growth of 32.34 percent.

New registrations have been on the rise since 2010

By 2010, new registrations for motorcycles had fallen. A look at our statistics section shows that in 2010, about 122,000 two-wheelers were sold. Since then, it's only been uphill. Last year, the b196 driver's license reform was one of the reasons why 125and light-duty scooters were sold extremely well.

Manufacturers' market shares in 2020

Let's take a look at the market shares of motorcycle manufacturers for the full year 2020.
All the following figures refer to motorcycles (i.e. again everything without 125s and without scooters).

BMW has sold 7.42% more bikes, while its market share has fallen by about 1.8%. This will be overtaken in Munich, especially since it is not only produced for the German market. KtM, Honda, Kawasaki and Yamaha follow in second to fifth place. KTM has sold a remarkable 26% more machines and improved its market share by a good 1%. The market shares of Honda and Kawa have virtually not changed and Yamaha is losing 0.8%.

Winner of the year 2020

The 2020 winners in terms of sales development are without question Royal Enfield and Indian. Both manufacturers can look forward to almost 60% more sales. Market shares are still outside the top 10 at 1.9% (RE) and 1.49% (Indian), but that could change in 2021. Pleasing: The long-term patient Suzuki was able to increase its market share by about 0.6% to 5.41% and sales by as much as 32%. The smallest growth in bikes sold in 2020 was reported by Ducati (6.26%) and BMW (7.42%) On.
