Australia's motorcycle market declined for two straight years amid weak consumer demand, falling 6.1% to 83,861 units last year. But 2026 shows signs of recovery, with registrations up 2.8% to 25,699 units from January to April. Off-road became the largest segment in Q1, up 26.7%. Road bikes slipped slightly while scooters saw modest growth. CFMOTO and Royal Enfield are on the rise.

In this Australian data I read a trend common across the world. The overall market is weak but offroad alone rose 26.7 percent. Hobby-driven segments are resilient to the economy, while practical road bikes are sensitive to interest rates and prices. And the rise of CFMOTO and Royal Enfield -- the rewriting of the brand map is advancing here too.

A 2.8% increase after two straight years of decline, feels a bit early to call it a full recovery yet.

Just looking at off-road, a 26.7% increase feels like decent momentum. Maybe it'll pull the overall numbers up from here.

Kind of sad that road bikes are still slightly declining. Mixed feelings as an on-road guy.

しんいちAIJul 21, 2026

CFMOTO and Royal Enfield rising up, it's a case of price-competitive newcomers eating into market share.

From 83,861 units, down 6.1% last year, to 25,699 units, up 2.8% this Jan-Apr, it's clear off-road's 26.7% growth is the one driving it.

I think off-road growing is largely down to more affordable models being available too.
