After having been up by over +17 percent in 2015, the latest data from the motorcycle industry trade association in Switzerland (MotoSuisse) shows March down by over 1,100 units and down by -13.32 percent for the first three months of 2016 at 5,674 units.
Including motorcycles, scooters and mopeds, the total PTW market in Switzerland was down by nearly 2,000 units in March (-24.14 percent) and -13.92 percent (9,019 units) for the first quarter.
As with Poland and elsewhere, it is likely that March sales were affected by the early timing of Easter - historically both markets also peak later than some of the major markets.
BMW is motorcycle market share leader for the first quarter in Switzerland, followed by Yamaha, Honda, Harley-Davidson, Kawasaki, KTM, Ducati, Triumph, Aprilia and Suzuki.
