New motorcycle registrations in January 2018

The first new registration statistics of the year are not yet particularly meaningful. Nevertheless, the first tendencies can be derived. We’ll show you which motorcycles were most frequently newly registered in January 2018.

After the motorcycle market in Germany shrank last year, growth can be observed in the first month of the new year. Compared to December 2017, new registrations increased by 86% in January 2018. However, commercial approvals are largely responsible for this. This becomes particularly clear when looking at some BMW models. For example, the BMW F 750 GS and F 850 ​​were not newly registered by a single private individual. In the case of the BMW S 1000 RR, which was able to register a total of 39 new registrations, at least nine copies were newly registered to private individuals.

On the other hand, the situation is completely different with the KTM 690 Duke, in which all 40 new registrations are due to private individuals. In addition, with the two models 300 EXC and 350 EXC-F, two exotic models from KTM made it into the top 20.

Most of the new motorcycle registrations in January 2018 were in Bavaria.

A total of five KTM models are represented in the ranking. Otherwise there are a whopping ten models from BMW, two Hondas, two Yamahas and a Kawasaki. Some bikes that were particularly popular last year, such as the Kawasaki Z 650, did not make it into the ranking in January.

As usual, Bavaria and North Rhine-Westphalia are right at the top of the list of new motorcycle registrations. 2,679 new registrations were recorded in western Germany. In the east there were at least 278 new registrations in January 2018. Compared to January 2017, significantly more motorcycles were newly registered. A total of 1,137 more motorcycles were registered in January than in the previous year.

Manufacturers’ market shares

When it comes to manufacturers, BMW is once again ahead of the game. KTM also got off to a promising start to the new year.

The usual picture: BMW leads the manufacturer ranking again in January 2018.

The top 5 in the manufacturer ranking are completed by Harley-Davidson, Yamaha and Honda. The first month of the new year was rather disappointing for the traditional Japanese manufacturer Suzuki, which ranks 11th in the ranking. The smaller manufacturers Betamotor and Husqvarna were able to position themselves ahead of the Japanese. Triumph and Ducati also made it into the top ten manufacturers in January 2018.

For a better understanding, I would like to conclude with a brief explanation of commercial and private registrations: The KBA differentiates between legal and natural persons. The latter are private individuals who allow a vehicle on them. New registrations for legal entities can be, for example, dealer registrations, police, driving school, rental or company motorcycles. So these are commercial approvals.
