I would like to know the European & Asia-Pacific market for ATV and
off road motorbikes or dirtbikes for recreation and/or competitive
use:
that is the number of ATVs and motorbikes sold over the last 3 years 
and forecast sales for the next 3 years broken down by 
country, manufacturer and segments like ATV, Motocross, enduro,
Trials.
I want to breakout sales figures for agricultural or utility off road
bikes
and ATV

Dear Kiblahs,

I just read your two questions and the answer by Bobbie7.  I have
researched this segment previousy, and I remember finding a lot of
data on the US market, including forecasts.  Are you still interested
in this information.  I can look more into it.

The international data was a lot more difficult to come by, as I
recall.  I can't promise anything, but if I run into anything I would
let you know.

Let me know if you are interested in more US figures,
Claudietta

I was able to find statistics on the European market for two-wheelers,
and some overall motorbike statistics for Asia. Just to tell you what
could be easily found. The ATV info is a bit tricky to find.

hi techtor
I can do without ATV numbers if your statistics show segment 
breakdowns (dirt/enduro/street/scooter) for 2-wheelers in european market

The page I uncovered on the European market gives capacity segments
(50-125cc, 125-150cc, etc.) with the figures in percentages. There are
model segments in unit sales and percentages, and the model type
categorization is scooter, chopper, naked roadster, super sport,
trail, sport touring, others. And the statistics are for 1999. You
might want a later date.

Are you also still interested in US and world figures?

Clarification of Question by kiblahs-ga on 21 Jan 2003 22:54 PST

hi techtor 
unit sales and percentages for scooter, chopper, naked roadster, super sport,
trail, sport touring, others will do me fine although I would 
prefer something closer than 1999. But something is better than .....
Im trying to build a picture on the world market so 
any extra info on the US and world numbers would be welcomed

Would you like to accept them as an officially posted answer (For
which you will pay $25), or would you like more info to be found? I'm
still looking... I found what looks like UK new registration figures,
given in segmented form.

Request for Question Clarification by techtor-ga on 03 Feb 2003 07:13 PST

I forgot to state that the UK registration figures are for 2002. 

For Asia info, the Indian market has a lot of figures (fairly recent,
I think 2001), and I saw a Japan table on sales and production figures
by capacity (latest 1998). I'll throw those in if you want the answer.
Thanks.

I will accept the european/uk/asian/japan numbers as an official answer

I must apologize for the chaotic tables. I had trouble measuring the

follow.

thanks for the great detail :)
