The latest data from the IVM ( the motorcycle industry trade association in Germany ) show new motorcycle registrations running at -7.54 % for the first ten months of 2022 at 101,075 units - the lowest YTD in Germany since 2017 . Most recently , August was -7.96 % ( 9,817 units ), September was -14.93 % ( 7,369 ) with October at -3.17 % ( 5,125 units ).
