by BMW, and Piaggio fifth. The
top selling motorcycle so far in
2019 is the Kawasaki Z 900.
Jose Maria Riano, Secretary
General of ANESDOR, says that
"the increase in the motorcycle
market in the first two months
of 2019 continues the trend we
saw last year and points to
ever more citizens choosing
motorcycles as a transport
option because of their urban
mobility advantages. The
figures also reflect the better
winter weather so far.
"During 2018 the market in
Spain recovered the growth
trend after overcoming the
Euro 4 regulatory change seen
at the start of 2017. That
brought a sharp drop in
registration statistics during
the first half of 2017."
