Honda claims number 1
Big year for bike marketHonda has claimed the number one spot for motorcycle sales for 2007, retailing a total of 32,946 units, according to figures released by the FCAI.
It was a record year for Honda as well as for Australia with the total market experiencing a growth level of 9%. Honda says its business grew by approximately 6.7%.
"We are really pleased with the result considering the tough level of competition in the industry," said Honda's Tony Hinton.
The firm claimed top spot in a number of categories, including: ATV (TRX350TM), Road Bike (CT110X), Scooters (Today 50), Sports Touring (CBR1100X Blackbird), Super Sport (CBR1000RR Fireblade), Supermotard (XR400M), Farm (CTX200) and Trail (CRF230F).
Despite the introduction of more open rules for learner bikes, the CBR125 and CBF250 both proved to be strong sellers.
