BMW’s S 1000 RR is Australia’s biggest selling pure sports-bike by a significant margin.

Yamaha’s Tenere 700 is the most popular ‘Adventure-Touring’ motorcycle, more than doubling the amount of sales of any other motorcycle in that category.

The MT-07L is Australia’s favourite ‘Naked’ and the YZF-R3 is, according to the FCAI data classifieds as a ‘Sports-Tourer’, tops that category.

Harley’s Street 500 topped the ‘Cruiser ‘category while the Street Glide Special again topped the ‘Touring’ 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.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
