The sales figures for the Swiss motorcycle industry have been known for some time. The figures are encouragingly good. Almost 15% more sales in the first three months than in the same period a year earlier raise hopes of a very good year for importers and dealers. In the table below we have listed the figures of the main motorcycle brands. Very well on the road is Yamaha, as incidentally all last year, Harley-Davidson, on the other hand, is still struggling to get going at the beginning of the year.
