According to data released by the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI), off-road motorcycles experienced a 3.3% increase in sales, totaling 16,807 units. This growth suggests a sustained interest in recreational riding and off-road adventures among Australian enthusiasts.
Conversely, the road bike segment saw a slight decline of 1.9%, with 16,254 units sold. This marginal decrease may be attributed to economic factors influencing discretionary spending. However, the overall stability indicates a loyal customer base and continued demand for motorcycles as a mode of transport and leisure.
Yamaha emerged as the top-selling brand during this period, followed by Honda, Kawasaki, and KTM. The consistent performance of these brands underscores their strong market presence and the trust they have built among Australian riders.
For consumers, the stable market offers a wide range of options, from off-road models to commuter bikes, catering to diverse preferences and needs. Additionally, the steady sales figures may encourage manufacturers and dealers to maintain competitive pricing and financing options, benefiting buyers seeking value and affordability.
In summary, the Australian motorcycle market's steadiness in the first half of 2025 highlights its resilience and the enduring appeal of motorcycles. Despite economic pressures, the sector continues to thrive, offering opportunities for riders and industry stakeholders alike.
