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 are usually not 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 comparable to Royal Enfield, Benelli, MV Agusta, Segway and Rieju are usually not included within the FCAI audit.
Likewise, the likes of CFMOTO, Kymco, Sherco and Landboss that come underneath the stewardship of Mojo Bikes, are usually not included within the gross sales figures as these firms are usually not members of the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries.
With the quoted 99,030 complete gross sales within the Australian market not together with gross sales from these manufacturers the true determine is sort of possible in extra of 125,000.
