Motorcycles a perfect alternative to traffic-bound cars

While the overall new car market declined once again in 2019, the number of new powered two wheeler registrations increased for a second consecutive year.

Figures published by the Motorcycle Industry Association (MCIA) on 8 January reveal there were 107,408 new powered two wheelers (PTW) registered in 2019 – up 1.5% from 2018.

This follows a 0.3% rise between 2017 and 2018.

Meanwhile, data published by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) earlier this month shows the UK new car market declined by 2.4% in 2019, with annual registrations falling for a third straight year.
