SUZUKI TOPS CHARTS
AGAIN IN 2019
F
or the second year in a row, the pint-sized
Suzuki GSX150F topped the charts yet
again with a total of 175 units of the sporty
little bike finding homes in Kiwis garages.
In total, 6441 new motorcycles joined the fleet in
2019, a slight drop of 41 units when compared to
2018’s sales figures and marking the second year
of decline in overall sales since the highpoint of
2017, in which 6538 new bikes joined the fleet.
Rounding out the top five best sellers of
2019 was Harley-Davidson’s Street 500 (114),
Yamaha’s YZF-R3 (102), Kawasaki’s Ninja
400 (95) and Royal Enfield’s Classic (93).
While overall sales were down slightly,
thetop five bikes continue the strong
trend of the LAMS class dominating new
bike sales in New Zealand.
In fact, the only bike in the top 10 to not fall
within the rules of the learner class being
KTM’s high-performance 790 Adventure
R, which overtook Suzuki’s DR650 as the
best selling bike in the adventure class.
