We’ve just had a release of the motorcycle sales figures for the UK, thanks to the released registration figures of the Motorcycle Industry Association (MCIA) – and despite the UK’s* motorcycle market growing since last year, bike sales are apparently on the downtrend.*

Overall, MCIA reports ‘July registrations down 11.4% on the same month in 2021,’ with ‘registrations in July 2022 shrinking by 11.9% compared to July 2021.’

Here’s last month next to June, for a bigger picture of the drop in numbers, straight from MCIA’s report:*

Yammie’s looking at similar figures; last year, the Japanese manufacturer had registered 1,642 bikes, with this year being 600 lower and logged at a registration of 1,083 units.*

“On the positive side for KTM, their 300 EXC enduro was the top-selling competition bike of the month.”

By far, the most favored of cc classes was the 51-125cc, and we anticipate the urban crowds to continue to desire practical machines for continued emission restrictions.*
