BMW Motorrad surfaces the sales figures for 2013 and says the past year brought an all-time annual sales high, the third one in succession.
BMW has sold no less than 115,215 motorcycles and maxi scooters worldwide in 2013, an 8.3% increase over the 2012 sales, with 6,343 units sold in December, 4.5% more than in the same month of 2012.
The German market recorded the biggest sales, moving 21,473 motorcycles and maxi scooters, a 4.7% over the 2012 sales, and was followed by the USA, with 14,100 vehicles sold and a whopping increase around 17 per cent.
Other large individual markets are France and Italy, each with more than 10,000 units sold, Brazil and the UK. UK alone sold 15% more units in 2013 than in 2012.
The new liquid-cooled R1200GS is the undisputed star: almost 30,000 bikes were sold to customers in 2013. This bike also marked the best-ever first year for a new model in the Bavarian manufacturer's history. Next in line come the F800GS (10,166 units) and the F700GS with 7,155 units. Liter-class sport bikes also fared well: just under 6,800 S1000RR were sold, and almost 2,700 HP4.
It will be interesting to see how well will the 2014 R1200GS Adventure and the 2014 K1600GTL Exclusive sell, as they debut this spring.
