Following a strong January, data released by Spanish motorcycle industry association ANESDOR shows that the positive trend of motorcycle registrations in Spain continued in February.
5,974 motorcycles were registered in February, up 15.9 percent from 5,135 units in 2013. January also saw growth of 11.6 percent, with 6,117 motorcycles registered (up from 5,461 units in 2013).
This brings the total motorcycle registrations for the year to date to 12,087, up 13.8 percent on the year-ago period (with 10,596 units registered).
Although 2013 saw an overall fall of -6 percent after a dismal start to the year, the Spanish market has now seen growth for the past 6 months. Industry analysts will be watching carefully to see if modest growth can be sustained throughout the key summer selling months.
To put this growth in perspective, the Spanish motorcycle market hit its peak in 2007, with 269,489 new units registered. Just 92,185 motorcycles were registered in 2013.
