2019 Road Motorcycle Sales Figures | Top Tens by model

2019 Australia Motorcycle Sales Data

Despite a further significant drop in sales Harley-Davidson is still Australia’s #1 brand when it comes to road going motorcycles ahead of Honda and Yamaha. The rankings by brand, and their change compared to 2018, can be seen in the table below.

Further tables below show the top tens by each individual category segment. We do not decide which models are in which category, that is decided by the FCAI in conjunction with their industry partners as to how the data is compiled.

What about the other brands….?

It should be noted that some brands are not represented in the official audit figures in relation to motorcycle sales. Brands under the UMI group such as MV Agusta, Royal Enfield and Gas Gas, along with the likes of Sherco, CF Moto, Kymco and SWM which come under the stewardship of Mojo Motorcycles, are not included in the sales figures as these companies choose not to be members of the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries.

An educated guesstimate suggests that these brands represent around 10-15 per cent of the whole market, thus the data is formulated from audited figures that cover around 85-90 per cent of the motorcycles sold in Australia.

Along with compiling motorcycles sales data, the FCAI is the primary organisation funded by the motorcycle industry to deal with government agencies. FCAI helped lobby for the Learner Approved Motorcycles Scheme and the Recreational Registration Scheme. They also lobby for exemptions on tightening emissions schemes in relation to motorcycles, and helping to prevent governments trying to restrict or ban the use of ATVs.

Motorcycle Sales Figures | 2019 Half-Year Results

2019 YTD Australia Motorcycle Sales Data

Overall the Australian motorcycle market, across all sectors, road, off-road, ATV and scooters is down 11.4 per cent. Every single major brand is down in comparison to the first six months of 2018, which itself was not a great year for the motorcycle market.

From January to June, motorcycle industry sales totalled 47,942 in 2018 compared with 50,939 for the same period in 2017. Over the first six months of 2019 that half-year figure has fallen further to 42,457.

Honda is still #1 overall with 10,275 sales chalked up in the first half of 2019. Big Red’s result helped a great deal by Honda’s very positive growth in scooter sales combined with a relatively good showing in the off-road market. These positives helped somewhat offset a 28.9 per cent drop in road sales for Honda and a 22 per cent drop in ATV sales.

Honda CBE Red
Affordable learner machines like Honda’s CB125E is what is keeping road bike sales ticking over

None of the brands are in positive territory overall. KTM and Kawasaki are the only two companies to only go backwards in single digit percentages, while the rest of the brands suffered double-digit declines.

Despite a 19.4 per cent decline in sales Harley-Davidson are still Australia’s biggest selling road bike brand while Yamaha narrowly edged past Honda on road bike sales.

Off-road it was a reversal of the blue-red fortunes with Honda sneaking ahead of Yamaha for the #1 spot in dirt-bikes.

Scooters are the only segment of the market that is in positive territory overall and Honda’s growth in this area has been phenomenal. Only a few years ago Honda was a bit-part player in the scooter market, but are now by far the market leader in this area.

Polaris remain the biggest selling ATV brand in Australia across a four-wheeler market that is 13.4 per cent down overall.

Road Motorcycle Sales Figures | 2019 Half-Year Results

Motorcycles Sales Figures

2019 YTD Road Motorcycle Sales Data

If any cold comfort can be taken in today’s release of the latest motorcycle sales figures for the Australian market it is that, despite the efforts of regulators to make obtaining a motorcycle licence as painful and expensive as possible, it is again the learner legal machines that are propping up the road motorcycle sales volume.

Honda CBE Blue
Honda CB125E leads the way

Honda’s affordable CB125E again led the way ahead of Yamaha’s MT-07L. Kawasaki’s Ninja 400 took third place ahead of Yamaha’s YZF-R3 and MT-09.

The chrome is still shining for Harley-Davidson with the big-bore breakout defying the overall negative trend to rank as Australia’s sixth biggest selling road motorcycle and earn the mantle once again as the country’s favourite cruiser style motorcycle.

Next best is the baby cruiser from Honda. The CMX 500 continues to do very well and Honda will be very pleased to have bested Harley’s Street 500 in the sales figures. 330 new CMX 500 machines hit the streets in the first six months of 2019 while in equal eighth with the Honda Grom was the H-D Street 500, that unlikely pairing registering 298 sales apiece while Yamaha’s MT-03LA rounded out the overall road-bike top ten.

Amongst the big-bore boy racer Superbikes Honda topped the charts with the CBR 1000 RR Fireblade by a handy margin. In fact, Fireblade sales almost doubled that of any of the other Japanese litre-bikes.  Ducati is making progress with V4 sales while the S 1000 RR also did reasonably well considering that BMW have been waiting a long time for stock of their latest model.

Scooter Sales Figures

Honda’s NSC110 is smashing it in the scooter market and along with Suzuki’s Address this pairing along are taking a hefty slice of the overall scooter sales in Australia.

Vespa continues to do pretty well while Yamaha’s new XMAX 300 is starting to grow in popularity.

It is so pleasing to see that Australian consumers have now almost completely shunned the cheap and nasty no-name shite that once sold in good numbers in this space, but now thankfully have died a natural death.

Honda has now established themselves as the clear market leader in scooter sales.

Motorcycles Sales Figures

2019 YTD Road Motorcycle Sales Data

In the off-road market it is again the tiddlers leading the way with both Kawasaki’s KLX 110 and Honda’s CRF50F marking up big improvements to take the 1-2 spots in the off-road market.

Of the big bikes again it is Australian bush bashers perennial favourite the WR450F that won more hard-earned Aussie dollars then any of its competitors in the enduro space. Next up in the Enduro category though were a quartet of KTM machines led by the 300 EXC two-stroke.

Yamaha also topped the motocross charts with the YZ250F and YZ450F siblings but there was little good news to be had in the MX sector with sales of almost every model well down across the board.

ATV

If there is no rain then ATV machines don’t sell, and there is still very little rain to be had in many of the larger parts of agricultural Australia thus there continues to be much pain in the quad-bike sector.

Polaris is still #1 overall but Honda and Yamaha are the next big performers in the sector with a slew of models across various capacities.
