The latest data from McRF, the Swedish motorcycle industry trade association, shows new motorcycle registrations at +8.00 percent for the full year 2016 at 10,178 units.
In total PTW terms, registrations for the full year were +10.18 percent at 21,347 units; moped registrations were +12.2 percent for the year at 11,169 units.
The first data for January 2017 suggests that the upward trend continues in Sweden (2,383 total PTW units registered), with the trade association saying that the cleaner Euro 4 models are expected to prove popular with environmentally conscious Swedish consumers.
This year’s MC Massan Swedish motorcycle show at Stockholm at the end of January is being reported as being a success, with the Swedish trade association citing an attendance in the region of 53,000 visitors. In 2018 the show will return to Gothenburg, from January 25 to 28.
