It gets better every month

The year 2021 started terribly with regard to the newly registered motorcycles - and is now getting noticeably better month after month. In April 2021, new registrations of 14,403 machines exceeded 125 cc (without scooters). This is an increase of almost 20 percent compared to the previous year.
 
The IVM figures show a clear upward trend in comparison with the previous year:
January: -50%
February: -15.75%
March: +8.21%
April: +19.39%
 
We can already look forward to seeing what the summer will be like. However, the comparative figures are lagging behind, as the Corona lockdown in 2020 did not take place until March and this year the second lockdown had already taken place in January. In contrast to 2020, many motorcycle dealers are also struggling with delivery problems this year. Corona and the container freighter left in the Suez Canal are the causes. The biggest winner in the bikes sold is Aprilia, with an increase of 61.8% compared to the previous year. The absolute numbers are still quite low with 864 bikes sold in Germany, so that it is only enough for 11th place in the statistics of the IVM - nevertheless a success for the Italians from Noale thanks to the RS 660.

Market shares of manufacturers

Not much has changed in terms of market shares from January to April 2021. BMW is in first place with 30 percent, followed by KTM, Kawasaki, Honda and Yamaha.
