I don't know ... it's all relative. Not sure what "record sales" means if the previous record was set for one's self, in other words if a premium manufacturer sold 100 bikes the previous year and this year they sold 150, is that "record sales" ...?
I don't know about the other premium brands but BMW Motorrad had it's best sales year ever in 2022.
Munich. BMW Motorrad achieved the highest sales in its corporate history with 202,895 motorcycles and scooters handed over to customers, which is an increase of +4.4 % compared to the previous year. BMW Motorrad remains in first place in the global premium motorcycle and scooter segment.
