UK motorcycle registrations

UK 2025 - Full Year Motorcycle Registration - 19.42%


As elsewhere in Europe, the latest new motorcycle registration data available from the Motorcycle Industry Association (MCIA) in the UK for 2025 are not good. The UK motorcycle market, still (presumably) suffering from the 2024 Q4 'pre-reg' Euro 5+ side effects as well as declining consumer confidence, is reports that new motorcycle registrations were down by -19.42% at 89,160 units for the full year (the lower since 2013).



The final quarter of 2025 saw October down by -9.36% (6,729 units), November down by -25.56% (4,924 units) and December down by -58.26% (4,511 units).

Total PTW sales for 2025 were -19.27% at 93,418 units, reflecting how small the UK moped market is (4,258 units in 2025).

The largest single motorcycle segment in the UK in 2025 was the Adventure market, with 20,032 units sold, followed by the Scooter market (18867 units) and Naked style motorcycle segment (18,392 units sold).

Total electric unit registrations were recorded as 3,282 units, down by -12.5% compared to the 3,750 units registered in 2024.
