This isn’t the total image

Sadly these are the one figures we now obtain from the official gross sales audit. Traditionally we might have the ability to see model by model and mannequin by mannequin performances, however the FCAI aligned manufacturers now maintain their playing cards near their chest and refuse to launch detailed knowledge which is why of late you haven’t seen the common detailed bike gross sales figures evaluation by mannequin section and mannequin that we usually dropped at you every quarter on MCNews.com.au.

New Zealand have a clear mechanism with public reporting of registration knowledge on a month-to-month foundation however right here it has all gone a bit secret squirrel.

It ought to be famous that some manufacturers will not be represented within the official audit figures in relation to bike gross sales. Their reticence to launch their figures to the audit physique and be a part of the FCAI appears to be the catalyst for the FCAI manufacturers now releasing solely very restricted knowledge, seemingly to not reveal any market intelligence to the manufacturers not aligned with the FCAI.

Manufacturers underneath the City Moto Imports group akin to Royal Enfield, Benelli, MV Agusta, Segway and Rieju will not be included within the FCAI audit.

Likewise, the likes of CFMOTO, Kymco, Sherco and Landboss that come underneath the stewardship of Mojo Bikes, will not be included within the gross sales figures as these corporations will not be members of the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries.

With the quoted 19,206 whole gross sales within the Australian market from the FCAI figures through the first quarter of 2025 not together with gross sales from these manufacturers, the true determine is sort of probably nearer to 25,000 items.
