Total PTW registrations were +13.75 percent in June (19,149 units) and are +12.35 percent (80,676 units) for the first six months of 2016.
For the year-to-date Honda is market share leader in Spain having sold 12,453 units for a 17.1 percent market share, followed by Yamaha (10,851 units, 14.9 percent share) and Kymco (8,651 units, 11.8 percent share).
The top selling motorcycle in Spain in the first six months was the Kawasaki Z800 with 1,617 units sold.
Reacting to the news, ANESDOR Secretary General Jose Maria Riano said that “the sector continues to grow apace, supported by the commercial efforts of brands and improving expectations about the economy of our country”.
However, Riano went on to say that the “73,012 motorcycles registered so far this year represent a low figure for the Spanish two-wheel ‘park’ and lie still far from the goal of long-term market sustainability”.
