Trends in the U.S. Motorcycle Industry
As of June 2021, the U.S. motorcycle market included about 7,000 establishments with a combined annual revenue of approximately $30 billion. Because motorcycles are high-ticket items driven by discretionary income, profitability depends not only on the volume sold, but the number of higher-margin vehicles (e.g., heavyweight motorcycles) sold. Larger dealerships thrive by offering a greater selection, while smaller dealers compete by providing more personal customer service and offering value-added services such as bike customization.
1Consumers purchased 472,000 motorcycles in 2017, which is a decrease of about one million units since 2007.The states with the most motorcycles are California, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York.
2 The industry experienced a further decline in demand in 2020 due to the decrease in consumer confidence, reduced spending and temporary shutdowns resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
3 When the crisis is over, dealers may want to consider partnering with Owner Connect, a premier motorcycle sales training and marketing firm.
