Sales data released today by the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI) covering the half-yearly motorcycle sales figures, January 1 through June 30, 2020, contain some great news. The data tells us is that the off-road market is booming. Dirt-bike sales are up by a whopping 42.4 per cent compared to the first six months of 2019, while ATV/SSV sales have gone ballistic to the tune of a 50.9 per cent improvement. Overall, a total of 52,838 vehicles were sold from January to June 2020, in comparison to 42,457 during the same period in 2019. This represents a strong 24.5 per cent increase in sales, a bright spot in an economic environment that has been predominantly negative over the past four months.
