In the two key market segments for BMW Motorrad Adventure and Touring, MSL reported the following highlights:

  • R1200GS/GSA combined hit a new record of 2,641 vehicles making it the best selling powered two wheeler!
  • BMW’s market share of the Adventure segment is 28%

The growth in BMW Motorrad sales is very good news for the BMW Owners Club. Compared to 2009 BMW Motorrad is registering 116% more motorcycles per year in 2014. The humble BMW Club Oxford section however has 138% more members than we had in 2009 so BMW Motorrad has a way to go to catch up yet!
