guzzi850m2 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 The Indian bike maker sold over 300.000 bikes in 2014 and plan to make 450.000 this year, customers are waiting 12 month for their Endfiels. It's sad they are not sold here in Thailand and at Indian prices too, I am not willing to pay 200-300.000 baht for one, but at say 150k baht I might buy one. They write, the most sold motor cycle brand in the world? How many bikes are Honda selling per year? Scooters don't count. http://www.forbes.com/sites/saritharai/2015/02/18/indias-vintage-royal-enfield-overtakes-harley-davidson-by-motorcycle-sales/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony5 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Stats for 2014 HD - 47K Ducati - 45K BMW - 123K Honda - 76K (over 250cc for japanese bikes) Suzuki - 54K Kawasaki - 43K Yamaha - 110K http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcycle-news/statistics/motorcycle-sales-statistics.htm I think you have your figures mixed up a bit, particularly with BMW compared to the other manufacturers. The BMW numbers may be correct, but the others need a few zero's added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_boo Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Stats for 2014 HD - 47K Ducati - 45K BMW - 123K Honda - 76K (over 250cc for japanese bikes) Suzuki - 54K Kawasaki - 43K Yamaha - 110K http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcycle-news/statistics/motorcycle-sales-statistics.htm Of note is that is for japanese production bikes for the first 3 quarters. Honda has big plants in Brazil and Thailand. It really comes down to price though doesn't it? The Ninja 250 was Kawasaki's best seller for donkey years (may still be). Than the CBR250 came along at a cheaper price and upset that cart. So, as mentioned in the Forbes article, when the product is at best 1/2 the price (and that's in the States where Harley and other manufacturer's aren't stung with import taxes), of course the more affordable option is going to win out.
