Australia - motorcycles and OHVs -19.8 % in 2022

The FCAI , the automotive trade association in Australia that includes motorcycle industry manufacturer membership and reports on Australia ' s motorcycle market , reports that a total of 99,030 motorcycles and OHVs were sold in Australia in 2022 , representing a decrease of -19.8 % on 2021 figures . Off-road motorcycles made up 42.1 % of total sales with 41,681 units sold in 2022 , a decrease of -21.5 % on 2021 figures . Road motorcycles made up 36.6 % of total units , recording 36,208 sales . This represents a decrease of -2.8 % on 2021 figures . The OHV segment decreased -44.1 % on 2021 figures , largely caused by the withdrawal of a large number of allterrain vehicles from the Australian market following regulatory changes . Total OHV sales were 15,825 , representing 15.9 % of the overall market .
Scooters make up the smallest portion of the market with 5,316 new units sold . This represents 5.4 % of the overall market and is an increase of + 10.3 % on sales in 2021 . " The rise in interest rates has resulted in consumers tightening their finances . Unfortunately , recreational products are often the first items removed from household budgets ," said FCAI Chief Executive Tony Weber . " This , combined with ongoing global supply chain pandemic recovery , has led to less than expected overall sales in 2022 . An increase in scooter sales and only a slight decrease in road motorcycle sales points to both the resilience of the Australian market and more first-time riders venturing onto our roads . " More and more Australians are realising the lower fuel bills , easier parking and quicker commute times that come with two-wheeled vehicles .
