Premium Member keithu Posted February 14, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted February 14, 2018 The decline in motorcycle sales is primarily a North American phenomenon, and to a lesser extent in Europe. Worldwide sales are up, especially in APJ where more profitable premium models are gaining popularity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member wessie Posted February 16, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted February 16, 2018 I think they have one of the best ranges of bikes, certainly the best of the Japanese brands. They have invested heavily in Europe, making bikes in France & Italy plus selling their engines to other makers. They seem to do well in the quad sector as well. Together with Piaggio (mostly scooters), BMW & Triumph, they are bucking the trend in the 2 wheeler market in Europe. This signature is left blank as the poster writes enough pretentious bollocks as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member keithu Posted February 16, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted February 16, 2018 Okay, but I stand by my assertion that sales are up in other regions, hence the increased profits. It's right there in Yamaha's own press release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
