BMW Motorbike Sales Up from 2009
BMW Motorrad recently released sales figures showing the company’s range continues to prove popular among motorcyclists in the UK.
They experienced a 13.8 percent increase in motorbike sales in the first 11 months of 2010.
BMW UK sold in this 11 month period 6,546 motorbikes compared to 5,752 in the same period last year, showing the continuing demand for a BMW bike even when times are harder amidst the recession.
In November alone BMW UK sold 23 more motorbikes than they did last November with 229 compared to 206 in total.
“BMW is on track to secure its position as the UK’s leading premium brand for the year,” said Tim Abbott, BMW Group UK managing director.
“BMW Motorrad is also performing well, with motorcycle sales up on last year, and new models winning national awards.”
BMW have launched their S 1000 RR Superbike earlier this year which was met with critical acclaim and possibly contributed to the high sales.
Motorbike Safety Tips
If you are considering buying a new BMW motorbike, or have already purchased one make sure you have all the relevant safety gear before hitting the roads.
Every motorcyclist is first of all required to take a test so they can legally drive on UK roads without displaying a Learner sign.
A ThermaHelm halo helmet provides the rider with the ability to send a signal via GPS to alert emergency services to the fact you have been in an accident, and it provides the exact co-ordinates so they can find you immediately.
Motorcyclists should buy leathers to wear on their bike with protective shoulder, elbow and knee pads.
Gloves with extra grip should be worn to protect your hands, and boots with a heel so the shoe does not slide off the stand.
The helmet should be carefully fitted so it does not slide around on your head and sits in the right place so as much of your head and neck is protected.
