As the title suggests I was just wondering if anyone had any info on how the 2013 CBR 250's are selling. Has the Ninja 300 and CBR 500 made a dent to sales?
That's a tough one... the motorcycle manufacturers keep actual production and sales numbers as closely guarded secrets. Seriously, they do. Their quarterly reports will state things like gross sales and revenue in terms of numbers of dollars, but specific unit sales by model is closely kept information.
As brand new models, I'd think it's safe to say that the demand for both the CBR500R's (and variant's) and the Ninja 300's is very high right now. I was at the local Kawasaki, Yamaha, Suzuki, KTM dealership last week, and the parts manager there said that the Ninja 300 was by far their best selling strictly street model this spring, as well as the KTM 690 Enduro R, and KTM EXC 350 & 500 selling very well for the Dual Sport category.
I'd imagine that as a third year model, overall sales for the CBR250R/RA has tapered off somewhat, which is to be expected.
Good question. I read an article recently about the Australian market and it stated that:
"The most popular road bike brand for the first quarter of 2013 was Kawasaki, which sold 2156 units (a whopping 87% increase)"
I can attribute that to all being the Ninja 300, i'm not sure of actual sales between the 300 and the cbr250r etc. and the 500 has just been released but i believe that information comes in the half-yearly report
yeah there are tonnes of 300's but also the cbr's are popular as you mentioned. I don't think i've seen any 2013 models yet but certainly a fair few 2011/2012 models
From time I entered the dealer and until I got out with title to cbr250r, One person picked up his cbr250r, and another person was in line to buy one... ninja 300 seems to just sit on the corner.
The Repsol versions of the CBR250 are selling like hotcakes at the local Honda dealership. They can't keep them in stock more than a couple of days.
