January is motorcycle sales month as manufacturers/importers offer discounts to get rid of stock they didn’t sell at Christmas time.
Other times during the year to buy a bike are in June when companies try to clear stock before the end of the financial year and Christmas when competition among manufacturers heats up.
Another good time to buy a particular model is just before the new model arrives as manufacturers try to get rid of old stock.
Already Aprilia, Honda and Victory Motorcycles have made significant discount offers for customers.
The Aprilia offer is ride away pricing on the following bikes:
- Model year 2015 Aprilia Shiver Sport 750 $12K Ride Away
- 2015 Aprilia Caponord 1200 Strada $16.5K Ride Away
- 2015 Aprilia Caponord 1200 Touring $19K Ride Away
Victory Motorcycles is also offering free on-road costs (including 12 months rego, CTP and stamp duty) across its entire range of new and ex-demonstrator 2015 cruisers and tourers until the end of February or while stocks last.
Riders can expect to save as much as $1500.
Next up is Honda with $1000 off the price of a 2015 CBR1000RR and unspecified “runout deals” on the 500cc learner-approved CBR500R, CBR500R and CBR500X. The offers end on March 28.
As the offers are announced we will repost this story and add the offers. Keep checking our MBW Facebook page for alerts on the new offers!
