Italy: Motorcycles +6.35% in 2022
According to the latest available data from ANCMA, the motorcycle industry trade association in Italy, last year ended strongly with new motorcycle registrations +17.30% in October (7,9455 units), +30.69% in November (6,401 units) and +2.21% in December (3,605 units).
This took the total of new motorcycle registrations in Italy for the 2022 full year to +6.35% at 126,571 units. In new units sold terms, 2022 was the best year in Italy since before 2013. The Italian motorcycle market has consigned the 'Covid Years' firmly into the rear view mirror.
Total PTW registrations in Italy for the 2022 full year were essentially flat at +0.09% - but the 270,416 new model registrations total is the best for the Italian market since before 2011.
Of those, ANCMA is classifying 143,845 as Scooters, which is -4.84%.
The Chinese made, Italian designed Benelli TRK 502/X was the top selling motorcycle in Italy in 2022 at 6,645 units, making it the fourth best seller overall. The BMW R 1250 GS was the second bestselling motorcycle (4,062 units YTD), followed by Yamaha's Ténéré 700 (2,762).
