Despite a general down turn in the global economy due to the Covid-19 pandemic, BMW Motorrad seems to be bucking the trend with increased sales in South East Asia and Asia-Pacific. For the month of June, 2020, BMW Motorrad saw a sales increase of 17.3% compared to the same month last year, translating to a total of 2,997 motorcycles sold.
The sales number covers Australia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Russia and Thailand, which BMW Motorrad says is “pleasingly robust.” Across Europe, sales saw a similar monthly spike, with 13,937 motorcycles moving off the showroom floor, a 2,684 unit or 23.9% increase.
In its home market of Germany, sales went up by 58.2%, while France saw a jump of 72.9%, followed by Benelux with 52.2% and Portugal with 52%. Worldwide, a total of 20,021 BMW motorcycles were sold in June 2020, surpassing the May 2020 number by 9.8%
In Europe the i.e. F750 is around 1500 Euro (RM7232) CHEAPER than the Japanese competition. So there’s no wonder that the sales numbers are so good.
Guess everyone wants to go on a long ride after staying at home for the longest time.
I want to buy BMW S1000rr, model year 2017/18 in Malaysia, found some used bike dealers are selling imported bikes from Japan. Does anyone knows why?
Is this a scam?
Are they original CBU unit?
