Red October for the motorcycle market
In October 2009, 15,599 motorcycles (motorized two-wheelers over 50 cc) were registered in our territory. This corresponds, compared to the month of October 2008 and its 18,585 immates, to a decrease of -16.1% … A decrease similar to the general decrease of -16.3% observed since January 1, 2009: nothing to show off, especially since last year Site noted that "autumn was starting slowly" (read)…

Overall, the observations of the last few months are confirmed in October. In 125, the Japanese and the French slowed down while the Italians and Taiwanese accelerated, while in "over 125" the Japanese plunged, the English speakers surf and two Europeans drink the cup … Detailed results.
