New motorcycle registrations March 2022

As always, Bavaria is the strongest federal state with a share of 27.60 percent, followed by NRW and Baden-Württemberg. According to IVW figures, the weakest sales location is Bremen with only 162 bikes sold or 0.52 percent. Bremen - what's going on? Nothing but Werder?

In terms of market share, BMW is still top with about 27%, but the market share was still over 8 percent higher at this time last year. Honda is very strong in the first quarter of 2022: With about 13% market share (4,124 motorcycles sold), the Japanese jump to second place ahead of Kawasaki and Yamaha. KTM weakens slightly compared to the previous year and remains just under 7 percent market share.

 

Among the top 50 motorcycles, the Kawasaki Z900 makes a brilliant comeback in March 2022 and is back in 2nd place ahead of the eternal top dog BMW R 1250 GS. Behind them follow Yamaha MT-07 and Kawa Z650, so actually everything as usual - almost: Because on places 7 and 10 is suddenly the Honda 650, once as CB 650 R and once as CBR 650 R. Amazing is also the Kawasaki Vulcan S in the top 15.
