In 2025 full year registration data terms, the one exception among the ' Big Five ' motorcycle markets in Europe has been Spain- the only country to have seen market growth. At the time of publication, the most recent available data from ANESDOR( the motorcycle industry association in Spain) put full year 2025 registrations at + 7.93 % over 2024( 239,729 units). In Q4, 2024 there were fewer regulation deadlinebeating Euro 5 / Euro 5 + pre-registrations than was the case elsewhere and, also unlike other ' Big Five ' markets, demand for motorcycles and PTWs remains robust. In the past two- or three-years Spain has proven to be the best performing of Europe ' s major markets in overall economic terms. The data showed October at + 20.56( 24,008 units),
After two years of positive trends, and despite the distorted statistics at the end of 2024, total Japanese home market made motorcycle exports to Europe were up by + 7.57 %( 235,603 units) after being recorded as-11.40 % for the 2024 full year( 219,015 units), and + 17.26 %( 247,187 units) for 2023. The latest available data from JAMA( the automotive trade association in Japan, which includes representation of motorcycle manufacturers among its membership, shows October 2025 exports to Europe as + 13.82 %( 17,915 units), November as + 17.46 %( 23,559 units) before being-29.99 % down in December( 24,761 units) as the data starts to lap the Euro 5 + ' pre-reg ' effects at the end of 2024. Total Japanese ' Big Four ' 250 + cc factory exports to the USA were + 5.87 % in 2025( 100,706 units- the highest since 2014). Total worldwide exports of 250 cc + motorcycles from Japan were + 9.45 % at 433,092 units. Global total PTW unit exports were + 7.62 % at 519,816 units.
As elsewhere in Europe, the latest new motorcycle registration data available from the Motorcycle Industry Association( MCIA) in the UK for 2025 are not good. The UK motorcycle market, still( presumably) suffering from the 2024 Q4 ' pre-reg ' Euro 5 + side effects as well as declining consumer confidence, is reports that new motorcycle registrations were down by-19.42 % at 89,160 units for the full year( the lower since 2013). The final quarter of 2025 saw October down by-9.36 %( 6,729 units), November down by- 25.56 %( 4,924 units) and December down by-58.26 %( 4,511 units). Total PTW sales for 2025 were-19.27 % at 93,418 units, reflecting how small the UK moped market is
Spain 2025- full year motorcycle sales + 7.93 %
November at + 9.16 %( 18,189 units) and December at-24.40 %( a still healthy 16,566 units) as the Spanish market lapped such 2024 year-end Euro 5 + ' pre-reg ' impacts as were seen there. In total PTW terms the Spanish market was + 7.29 %( 252,730 units) for the full year. Honda was market share leader with a 21.4 % slice of the action in Spain( 54,056 units in total, up by 11.4 % on 2024), ahead of Yamaha second( 14.1 %), Zontes third( 8.0 %), Voge fourth( 6.8 %) and Kymco fifth( 5.7 %). They are followed by SYM, BMW, Kawasaki, Piaggio and QJMotor. The Yamaha NMAX 125 continues to be the bestselling model( 12,260 units / 5.3 % share), followed by the Honda PCX 125, Zontes 368 G, Sym Symphony 125 and Voge 900 DSX.
( 4,258 units in 2025).
