December 2023 was rather weak in terms of motorcycle sales. In total, only 2,498 new registrations were reported by the IVM. This represents a decrease of 15.6 percent compared to December of the previous year 2022.

In terms of market share, Honda once again secures 1st place with a very good 24.3 percent. They are followed by BMW (22.8%) and KTM (11.41%). Behind them, there is already a larger gap, with fourth-placed manufacturer Kawasaki only coming in at just over 6 percent.

In the top 50 models, the BMW R 1300 GS took 1st place again, as it did in November - and this will probably remain the case for the time being. The Honda Africa Twin and the CB 1000 R do surprisingly well - but this can also be related to one-day registrations, which dealers like to do at the end of the year. The fourth place of the KTM 300 EXC, of which 67 were registered, was also astonishing.
