Individual Road Model Result
Big movers in Road sales include the new Triumph Thunderbird, jumping to the overall 4th highest seller, and 2nd highest cruiser with a stout 327 unit sales. As usual the CT110 Honda heads the list, for whatever that stat is worth in regards to road motorcycles. Kawasaki’s smash hit Ninja 250 remains in second with 947 more sold in six months.
Yamaha’s R1 sales dropped a massive 60%, yet still remained the 3rd highest selling Supersport model, although the inclusion of the Hyosung GT650R in 2nd place is questionable in this field. Hondas CBR1000RR held on to top spot with almost identical sales as last period.
In the naked section, notable changes are Triumph’s Street Triple dropping 40%, and Buells 1125R jumping a huge 170%, sadly as a result of the brand closing and bikes being clearanced.
