Global retail sales for BMW Motorrad rose by 7.8 per cent to a total of 9991 motorcycles and maxiscooters during September. The brand’s worldwide year-to-date sales are now up by 7.6 per cent to 100,217 units — the first time it as ever passed the 100,000 barrier in three quarters of a year.
BMW bike registrations in the UK were also positive for September, increasing by 6.2 per cent to 1012 units. However, BMW Motorrad USA couldn’t even match that British headline figure, shifting only 914 units and declining by 4.3 per cent in a much larger marketplace.
