This isn’t the total image

Sadly these are the one figures we now obtain from the official gross sales audit. Traditionally we might be capable of see model by model and mannequin by mannequin performances, however the FCAI aligned manufacturers now maintain their playing cards near their chest and refuse to launch detailed knowledge which is why of late you haven’t seen the common detailed motorbike gross sales figures evaluation by mannequin phase and mannequin that we typically dropped at you every quarter on MCNews.com.au. New Zealand have a clear mechanism with public reporting of registration knowledge on a month-to-month foundation however right here it has all gone a bit secret squirrel.

It needs to be famous that some manufacturers usually are not represented within the official audit figures in relation to motorbike gross sales. Their reticence to launch their figures to the audit physique and be a part of the FCAI appears to be the catalyst for the FCAI manufacturers now releasing solely very restricted knowledge, seemingly to not reveal any market intelligence to the manufacturers not aligned with the FCAI.

Manufacturers below the City Moto Imports group corresponding to Royal Enfield, Benelli, MV Agusta, Segway and Rieju usually are not included within the FCAI audit.

Likewise, the likes of CFMOTO, Kymco, Sherco and Landboss that come below the stewardship of Mojo Bikes, usually are not included within the gross sales figures as these firms usually are not members of the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries.

With the quoted 95,980  complete gross sales within the Australian market not together with gross sales from these manufacturers, the true determine is sort of doubtless in extra of 120,000.
