Spain- Q1 2026 Motorcycle Registrations + 26.88 %
In 2025 full year registration data terms, the one exception among the ' Big Five ' motorcycle markets in Europe was Spain- the only country to have seen market growth last year. At the time of publication, the most recent published data from ANESDOR( the motorcycle industry association in Spain) covered the first three months of 2026 and, on a Prima facie basis at least, the PTW registration statistics for Spain so far this year are nothing short of spectacular. For Q1 motorcycle registrations are said to be up by + 26.88 % YTD at 57,424 units. As the new statistical year started to lap the Euro5 + ' Pre-Reg ' compromised ' year ago ' data, January is said to have been + 14.53( 15,260 units), February + 22.70 units( 17,110 units) and March up by + 39.40 % at 24,642 units. In Q4, 2024 there were many fewer regulation deadline-beating Euro 5 / Euro 5 + pre-registrations than was the case elsewhere and, also unlike other ' Big Five ' markets, there is genuine growth in demand for new motorcycles and PTWs remains in Spain. In the past two- or three-years, Spain has proven to be the best performing of Europe ' s major markets in overall economic terms and we have been seen that in our industry too. In total PTW terms the Spanish market was + 25.95 %( 60,149 units) for the first three months of 2026. Within the overall data, motorcycles were worth 46.4 % of the total PTW market( 29,462 units) with scooters accounting for 44.0 %( 27,962 units). Honda continues to be the market leading brand with an 18.4 % share and 11,719 units registered YTD. Yamaha was second( 12.8 %/ 8,163 units) with Voge third( 8.9 % share / 5,656 units); followed by Zontes, BMW, Kymco, Sym, Kawasaki, Riejo and Piaggio. Jose Maria Riano, ANESDOR General Secretary described it as a " solid start " to 2026 stating that " more and more citizens are choosing motorcycles for their mobility advantages, but the increase in demand for leisure

“ Stainless steel delivers several key advantages over chrome. Its exceptional resistance to corrosion, rust, and environmental exposure ensures outstanding longevity and helps maintain a premium finish even in demanding riding conditions. From a sustainability perspective, the move away from chrome plating aligns with Goodridge’ s environmentally responsible manufacturing practices.“ Stainless steel production avoids hazardous plating processes, reduces waste, and lowers overall environmental impact. In addition, its clean, bright, polished appearance delivers a modern aesthetic ideally suited to contemporary custom V-Twin designs.” Complementing the stainless-steel range, Goodridge’ s new Black Zinc hardware“ offers a bold, stealthinspired alternative for riders seeking a darker, more aggressive look. Engineered to the same rigorous standards, it provides excellent corrosion resistance and a durable, uniform finish.” All Goodridge brake lines, in both stainless steel and Black Zinc, are pressure tested before dispatch and meet FMVSS106 requirements, ensuring full DOT compliance and TÜV approval for Germany. www. goodridge. com
