                    [Summary] => Motorcycle sales grew by 20 percent in the first quarter of the year as the public took advantage of the cheaper rates and affordable loans offered by local motorcycle assemblers in the face of stiff competition from low-priced Chinese brands and second-hand units.


Former Motorcycle Development Program Participants Association (MDPPA) president Mateo B. Ocenar said a total of 58,000 units were sold in the first three months from only 48,000 units during the same period last year. Solo bikes accounted for 15 percent of the total units sold.

                    [Summary] => Local motorcycle manufacturers are asking the government to ban the entry of used motorcycles, saying they are stunting the growth of the industry.


According to Motorcycle Development Program Participants Associaton (MDPPA) president Mateo B. Ocenar, used motorcycles eat up about 10 percent of the industry’s market.


Ocenar said motorcycle sales managed to pick up this year, with sales of 203,000 units, below their target of a 10-percent growth or about 220,000 units.
