New motorcycle registrations May 2021

BMW stays ahead, Honda, Kawasaki and KTM level

According to IVM, new registrations of motorcycles (all without 125s and scooters) have to cope with a decline of 6.36 percent in May 2021 compared to the previous year. Cumulatively, it has so far been minus 1.59 percent for the full year 2021 compared to 2020 - virtually unchanged.

 

Among the manufacturers, BMW remains the measure of all things with a market share of approx. 28 percent. In places 2 to 4, Honda, Kawa and KTM beat each other with almost identical market shares of around 11.6%. Behind it there is a big hole, Yamaha in 5th place so far only comes to a market share of 6.75 percent.

Among the best-selling machines, the Honda Africa Twin was able to jump to 4th place. The two F900s from BMW and the two Zs from Kawasaki continue to sell very well. At the top, of course, as always, is the R 1250 GS, this will probably not change in the next 100 years.
