 BMW
Motorcycle Sales heat up in 2006
There may be a chill in the air,
but sales of BMW motorcycles continue to be hot. Worldwide BMW
motorcycle sales for December were up 36.8 percent over the same
period the previous year, while annual sales topped 100,000 units.
BMW Motorrad USA, the importer and distributor of BMW motorcycles
in the United States, also posted increases for December as well
as annual sales.
The strong performance was due to the introduction of new models
as well as the continued performance of existing models. At the
head of the list was the top-selling model the R 1200 RT
which was named "Best Touring Bike" in 2006 for
the second year in a row by editors of Motorcyclist Magazine.
BMW's R 1200 GS model named "Best Adventure Bike"
last year by Motorcyclist accounted for the marque's second
highest volume. The F 650 GS was BMW's third best-selling bike.
The new K 1200 GT, R 1200 GS Adventure, R 1200 S and R 1200 R
were highlights of BMW's on-going product offensive.
Never missing a beat when it comes to bringing new models to
market, BMW Motorrad USA will introduce several new motorcycles
for 2007 the G 650 series, the F 800 series, and the K
1200 R Sport models all of which are expected to contribute
to another strong year.
