Honda with three models in the Top5!

The motorcycle market regularly goes crazy in December. The reason is often one-day registrations, which are made by dealers for various reasons in the old year. Honda's market share in December 2022 was probably a staggering 20 percent.

Overall, December was anything but exhilarating in terms of new motorcycle registrations. The IVM reported only 2,960 new registrations of motorcycles (everything except scooters and 125cc), which means a minus of 19.9 percent compared to December of the previous year. In terms of market share, there is a clear winner in December 2022: 587 Honda bikes were registered this month - an increase of a whopping 83.4 percent compared to Dec. 2021.

Among the best-selling (or approved - see above) models, three Hondas are among the top 5: The NC 750 X, the CB 1000 R, and the CB 500 F. Among the first eleven machines are even seven models from Honda. This has never happened before, but as I said, this can very well have to do with numerous daily registrations - so the bikes do not have to be sold yet, but can still be found in the figures of the IVM.
