This isn’t the complete 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 information which is why of late you haven’t seen the common detailed motorbike gross sales figures evaluation by mannequin section and mannequin that we typically delivered to you every quarter on MCNews.com.au.

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

It must be famous that some manufacturers aren’t represented within the official audit figures in relation to motorbike 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 information, seemingly to not reveal any market intelligence to the manufacturers not aligned with the FCAI.

Manufacturers below the City Moto Imports group comparable to Royal Enfield, Benelli, MV Agusta, Segway and Rieju aren’t included within the FCAI audit.

Likewise, the likes of CFMOTO, Kymco, Sherco and Landboss that come below the stewardship of Mojo Bikes, aren’t included within the gross sales figures as these corporations aren’t members of the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries.

CFMOTO gross sales aren’t included within the FCAI information.

With the quoted 22,374 complete gross sales within the Australian market from the FCAI figures not together with gross sales from these manufacturers the actual determine is kind of seemingly nearer to 30,000 models.
