March almost makes the bad start of the year almost forgotten

The IVM reports increasing sales of motorcycles of all classes. Overall, the market was up 20.81 percent year-on-year. For motorcycles (all but 125s and scooters), the increase is still 8.21 percent. Cumulatively, the poor figures from January and February are almost catching up.

If only the beginning of the year had not been so bad! Once again, Corona was to blame, or the lockdown that entails it. In absolute terms, however, the first few months of the year are hardly worth mentioning - who buys a new mop in January or February? It's always going to start in March and that's the case again this year. In March, dealers were able to bring almost 18,000 motorcycles to the man and woman. In March 2020, there were 16,581 units.

There has also been some movement in the figures for manufacturers. KTM jumps to 2nd place, Yamaha at least to 5th place. The Japanese, however, are struggling with deliveries because of Corona and could certainly have sold even more bikes without Corona. BMW in particular benefits from this, with a market share of still a whopping 33.14 percent! This can be seen above all in the list of the top 50 models: Six machines from Munich are in the top 10!
