    It doesn't surprise me at all to see the green machines so low. People buy Suzuki on price alone and what ever else they are giving away with the bikes at the same time. I suspect KMT will continue to climb and Yamaha to continue to fall because they lost Waikatio Yamaha which shows the market isn't that good.

    Pretty clear when you go to rides you see mainly Red and orange these days. Red has always been up there.

    If you really want to compare apples with apples ( ok bikes ) you need to remove all the specific farm orientated bikes, especially as long as there is such a huge incentive / tax relief for dairy farmers that buy a new farm bike every year....and as far as Im aware only 3 manufacturers make them ...
    Or show what % of Jap "Off road" (presumably bikes that cant be road ridden or registered) are farm bikes ...

    Are these figures based on bikes retailed? Normally these figures are based on info supplied via the franchises who count all units supplied to the dealer network.

    With Roadbikes it is based on rego's so that more accurate.

    They printed the Aussie bike sales in a recent ADB magazine, and the top 3 ENDURO bikes were. CRF50F, YZF450, CRF250. In that order.

    The 88cc kits would make it pretty wild.
