Forza last year sold 416 offroad bikes between 70cc and 230cc but are not mentioned here although being in the marketplace for 6 years now.
(blame statistics NZ for that)

If you want to see the road bike and quad and scooter sales figures I can post them too

Interesting to see Honda double their sales figures.

Kawasaki surprises me. I know KTM is good machinery but would never have thought they out sold Kawasaki

Maths has changes since I went to school it seems. They increased their sales by half...ish, 2010 to 2011.

I'd be interested to see what they're like.

No surprises re Honda being up the top with the way they "dumped" a load of stock on the market

Kawasaki surprises me 2 the fact they sold any of those hunks of junk at all

**krad_nz** · 18th January 2012, 20:22

I'm also surprised with Kawasaki selling very little compared to the others. Especially with their innovation of late, ie: Separate function forks etc.

Interesting stuff!

**TrentNz** · 18th January 2012, 21:08

Yeah I'm surprised at how Kawasaki done as well... but i guess KTM was (is?) more enduro/trail based, well that's how i see it, and their seems to be a lot of people in to that kind of stuff.

forza is not part of the motorcycle importers asscoation,

kawasaki off road range outside mx has shrunk massivly in the last few years, so it shows in these figures,

the road figures still dropping,

**IIIRII** · 19th January 2012, 07:04

What defines an "off road" unit ?
Honda etc: sell a lot of farm only type stuff that other manufacturers dont make
So is the comparison / Enduro / Trail / MX bikes
Or everything they make and sell that is not road riden

**ktm84mxc** · 19th January 2012, 07:41

There could be a point to exclude 4 wheelers from these figures and put them down as farm utility vehicles.
KTM's figures show having a broad model range helps keep market share. They also don't sell farm quads. Honda has always had the lions share of the farmers market in 4 wheelers.

**scott411** · 19th January 2012, 09:55

quads are listed seperatly and are not included in the off road category, and the mule/rhino type vehicle are not listed in the quad figures or at all i think,

off road includes all other units, incl things like dr200 and tf125's, the industry does share the sub groups among itself, (MX, farm, enduro, kids etc,
