New over-500cc motorcycle sales continued their upward momentum in January, with registrations increasing by 11 per cent on January last year to 1388 from 1247. The good news follows December’s registration increase which, although assisted by pre-registrations, increased by over 20 per cent to 1512.
Â
Triumph was again the top selling brand with 301 bikes sold to take a 22 per cent slice of January’s registrations.
It looks like the tough times could be over for the big bike market. Triumph says over-500cc registrations could hit 42,000 bikes this year, a near 10 per cent increase on last year’s 38,314.
