The motorcycle market still weighed down in November 2013

November 2013 still weighs down the market
After one, the French motorcycle market recorded a further drop in sales last month: the difference between the months of November 2012 and 2013 is 1,480 units in absolute value, or -18.4% in relative value (read our).
Site readers – who, as everyone knows, are a little more savvy than others – will have carefully noted in their notebooks that November 2013 was two working days less than November 2012.
However, in certain cases, applying a correction to the raw data taking into account the number of working days can make it possible to reverse a finding. This is precisely what the automotive professionals in France did in November 2013…
Indeed, specialists had the opportunity to convert the decline of -4.4% of the French market for new passenger cars "in raw data", in a rebound of + 5.7%"a number of comparable working days". A statistical cabriole of which the professionals of the motorcycle market are deprived !
In the 125 cc in particular, the braking is too violent to be masked by the mere lack of activity (-9.5%, 19 working days against 21). Last month, 2,045 registrations were recorded in the sector against 2,965 in November 2012, a drop of -31%.
Manufacturers and dealers will be able to invoke the cool temperatures of the second half of November, higher than normal precipitation (by 30%) and insufficient sunshine to partly justify the further decline in sales of new 125 cc scooters and motorcycles..
Even among large cubes, taking into account the two missing working days does not make it possible to reverse the trend: the 4,519 immats recorded last month represent a drop of -11%. And November 11, which this year fell on a Monday – compared to a Sunday last year – cannot be used as an excuse either….
