BMW Motorrad, the Bavarian firm’s motorcycle manufacturing arm, has recorded its fifth straight year of record sales. Combining sales of motorcycles and scooters, a total of 136,963 machines were sold in 2015, an increase of 10.9% over the previous year.
As for which model was BMW’s best-seller, no information was available, but going by data from previous years, we suspect it would be the big R1200 GS. Compared to the rest of BMW’s range of vehicles, the only brand that posted a larger percentage increase in sales than Motorrad was MINI.
For 2016, BMW is set to launch the G310R, a 300 cc entry-level motorcycle that is targeted at developing markets, notably in south and south-east Asia. Although posting a lower margin than the premium motorcycles, is it expected that the G310R will drive BMW Motorrad’s sales figures strongly this year.
