Australian Motorcycle Market 2016 - Cormanus - 01-13-2017
For those interested in sales statistics, Australia had the best motorcycle sales in seven years in 2016 with Honda the leading manufacturer with 22.9% of the motorcycle and ATV market in Australia.
Harley Davidson was the biggest seller in the road bike category selling more than 10,000 motorcycles and claiming 21.5% of the market.
Of interest, the biggest selling Honda was the NBC110, or the postie. That's a scooter available only to postal contractors and not available to the general public.

That NBC110 Super Cub looks like a pretty neat little bike. I wouldn't mind spending the day delivering mail on one of those.

Flyn, people do some extraordinary things on posties. See [url=http://traveloutbackaustralia.com/5-awesome-outback-postie-bike-adventures.html/]this web site for a laugh or two.

Great!
Who needs a$20,000 adventure bike anyway.
Um, is it safe without ABS?

Very cool! That is a great example of what you can do with a rugged little bike.

Just finished watching the last one. What great fun and a testimonial to the little posties and the people who ride them.
