The blow suffered by the coronavirus pandemic continues to leave a trace in the two-wheel market. However, June sales reversed the negative trend that seemed settled after March. Motorcycle sales grew 13% over the previous year. It is true that we had more business days for its sale, but it is also true that families are not at their best when investing in a motorcycle. This increase is due, in large part, to COVID-19. The fear of contagion has generated a certain rejection of public transport and the two wheels are the ideal alternative for urban traffic. For this reason, some users have got on a motorcycle again and others travel their first kilometers with it.
