+ 6.3 % year-on-year ) and the UK ( 109,300 units , + 1.9 %).

109,327 said : " The latest registration data show that the European market has overall remained stable in 2022 , compared to 2021 . " Within a changing mobility environment and challenging economic landscape , it confirms that citizens continue to be positive about two or three-wheeled vehicles for their convenience in daily personal mobility and for the recreational opportunities they provide ." However , the national trade association statistics for the ' Big Five ' sometimes follow different data capture and analysis protocols , resulting in some apparent variances . Per the detailed reports in StatZONE , elsewhere in this edition , the IVM in Germany , for example , reports full year motorcycle registrations down by -7.22 % at 107,992 units - the lowest in Germany since 2016 . However , the response of the German market to the 2020 licence changes could prove to be a decisive turning point for that market . In Italy , ANCMA reports + 6.35 % ( 126,571 motorcycles ) for FY2022 - on its data model , the best since before 2013 . In Spain , the ANESDOR data matches ACEM at + 6.30 % ( approx . 175,000 motorcycles ), essentially flat with 2019 as the second-best full year since before 2013 . The MCIA ' s UK data pretty much matches that from ACEM at + 2.01 % ( 108,510 motorcycles ) - the highest there since 2016 .
