Just got it firing!
Does anyone know the number of Stelvios sold in the US market per year? ...or the number of new Guzzis in general?
There's some interesting statistics here: http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcycle-news/statistics/motorcycle-sales-statistics.htm
The net is full of articles that make a correlation of bike sales to fuel prices. However, US fuel prices plunged in 2009 (simultaneous w/ the fall in motorcycle sales volume), but rather quickly rebounded to very close to the highs in 2008: http://www.gasbuddy.com/gb_retail_price_chart.aspx
The volume of motorcycle sales has not rebounded to the same degree.
I guess what I'm most interested in is how is Guzzi doing with regard to gaining market share, particularly in the dual sport market w/ the Stelvio?
BMW has been gaining sales rapidly from the webbikeworld article. In my completely biased opinion, though, they've sold their soul to do it.
I'm still on track to pick up a new Stelvio NTX this fall - I've been planning my next new bike purchase for two years, and still the Stelvio holds out as my top pick.
