During 2025 a total of 92,967 motorcycles and off-highway vehicles were delivered to Australian customers, a decrease of 1.3 per cent compared with 2024 .
Off-road motorcycle sales were steady at 41,190 units, 12 units more than the previous year. Road motorcycle sales declined by 3.6 per cent to 33,018 units, while scooter sales increased by 3.8 per cent to 4,933 units.
In the off-highway vehicle segment, 13,826 units were sold, representing a 1.4 per cent decline compared with 2024.
The top selling brand was Yamaha, followed by Honda and Kawasaki.
Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries chief executive Tony Weber said the overall result reflected continued pressure on discretionary spending.
“While total volumes softened slightly, it is encouraging to see resilience in parts of the market, particularly off-road motorcycles and scooters,” Mr Weber said.
“Road motorcycles and scooters are an efficient and cost-effective means of transportation, especially in high-density metropolitan areas,” Mr Weber said.
“With around 10 per cent of Australians holding a motorcycle licence, there are opportunities to see an increase in motorcycle sales for on and off-road riding.
“Looking ahead, riders can expect to see a steady flow of new and updated models arriving in showrooms, with manufacturers continuing to invest in innovation, safety and performance to meet the needs of Australian riders.”
