Munich . As of April 2012 BMW Motorrad sold 3.5% more vehicles worldwide than in the previous year. Sales thus increased to a new record of 37,461 motorcycles (prev. yr: 36,181 units) for the first four months of a sales year. In April 2012 BMW Motorrad supplied 13,088 motorcycles to its customers worldwide (prev. yr: 13,072 units) - the second best April retail result.
Hendrik von Kuenheim, General Director of BMW Motorrad: "In spite of difficult overall conditions and a significant lack of uniformity in the development of the motorcycle markets, BMW Motorrad once again achieved very good retail results in April. The markets of Germany, the USA, France and Brazil in particular are showing a very positive development. Demand for BMW enduro models continues to be high across all three series. Our top-selling model is still the big travel enduro R 1200 GS. Our large touring bikes with 6-cylinder engines are also highly popular."
Husqvarna Motorcycles, the BMW Group's second motorcycle brand, also saw an increase in deliveries for the fourth month in succession. As of April, Husqvarna had supplied 3,560 motorcycles (prev. yr: 2,543 units), an increase of 1,017 units or 40.0 %. In April, 918 vehicles (prev. yr: 603 units) were supplied to the Husqvarna dealer network, 52.2% more than in the same month of the previous year.
