Thailand's motorcycle market

Thailand motorcycle sales surpassed two million bikes for the first time in 2011, hitting 2.01 million. Sales rose to 2.13 million units in 2012, the highest level ever, before dropping to two million in 2013. In 2014, the market fell by 15 percent to 1.7 million due to political turmoil and delayed payments for farmers under the rice-pledging scheme.[1] Thailand's motorcycle sales in 2015 totalled 1.68 million bikes, down one percent from 2014. In the first four months of 2016, 559,915 motorcycles were sold, down 3.8 percent on the same period in 2015.[2]
