The Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI) reports 94,224 motorcycles and OHVs (Off-Highway Vehicles) were delivered to Australian customers in 2024, a decrease of 1.8% on the 2023 result.
Off-road motorcycles recorded 41,178 units, experiencing a 2.6% increase, and road motorcycles recorded a 2.4% decrease to 34,266 units. Scooters declined 22.5% to 4,752.
In the OHV segment, 14,028 units were sold, a decrease of 3.8% compared with the 2023 figures.
FCAI chief executive Tony Weber said that while the overall result was similar to 2023, economic factors undoubtedly contributed.
“With motorcycles often considered a discretionary purchase for many people, cost of living pressures and interest rates influenced the decision to purchase a new bike for commuting, recreation or off-road purposes.
“A point to note is that 429 electric units were delivered, making up only 0.45% of the market.
“The year ahead will continue to present challenges; however, customers can expect to see a continuation of new models with new features appearing in showrooms that can ignite the enthusiasm of committed and passionate riders,” he says.
