FCAI Chief Executive Tony Weber noted that it has been a challenging six months for the motorcycle industry.
“The results highlight the economic pressures impacting Australian households including cost of living increases and interest rate rises. We continue to monitor economic conditions and their potential impact on sales across all market segments,” Mr Weber said.
“The slight decline in scooter sales, despite their typically steady performance in recent months, suggests that consumers are feeling the pinch more acutely this year.”
