New Motorcycle Registrations October 2023

Before we get into the individual models, let's take a look at the market as a whole. A total of 6,854 motorcycles (everything except 125cc and scooters) were registered in Germany in October 2023. This is a whopping increase of 33.7 percent compared to October 2022. BMW is in first place with just under 21 percent, followed by Honda with a market share of 17.5 percent. Suzuki lost a bit of ground in October with only 2.6% - just ahead of Royal Enfield with 2.3%.

 

In the top 50, the BMW R 1250 GS is ahead of the new R 1300 GS with 381 units sold. But that's less surprising, because the 1250 is certainly being sold at top conditions at the moment - and there's also the GS 1250 Adventure, which will continue to be sold. In November, the R 1300 GS will probably overtake the 1250 - let's see.

 

Otherwise, there aren't that many surprises when you look at the top 50 list. Maybe the Aprilia RS 660 in 17th place or the Honda CL 500 in 8th place. Otherwise, the old acquaintances from BMW, Kawasaki and Honda cavort on top.
