What Motorcycle Sold the Most IN THE USA in 2024?

[@Fast48-1]

Go GREEN TEAM!!! Old Harley rider here who just bought a 2023 KLX 230SM. I'm loving this bike like crazy! Can't remember the last time I enjoyed riding as much as this!

[@Mike-q1z9w]

I would have never believed that a sensible, relatively small, all rounder would be #1. Hopefully this indicates a return to the basics of motorcycling. Something that you can afford & enjoy, instead of the expensive fashion statements that seemed to be taking over.

[@allanmoger1838]

@@Mike-q1z9w OTOH, seeing as the Z650 is objectively not a great bike, even in its category, and is subjectively very boring, will this keep new motorcyclists interested?

[@keithchelini5776]

HD executives aren't super bright getting rid of the Sportster S after selling so many

[@JDewby]

@@keithchelini5776 it’s not…they killed the old sportster (air cooled). This version is the new update…. Unsure of how a KZbin vlogger doesn’t know this. There is also a new “Nightster” which is more expensive but closer in price point to the air cooled sportster.

[@pcthayer]

I'm surprised the BMW R1250GS is so high on the list with its expensive cost and there are so many old ones around and they last forever.

[@aao331]

Can't go wrong with the GS. Parts everywhere, unbreakable engine. 1000km comfortable but also can be used on the city, etc.

[@pcthayer]

@@aao331 Agreed. I just was amazed the volume of new ones they are selling compared to the cheaper Japanese bikes, making the GS the 3rd highest selling bike in the US.

21,000 miles on my 22' INT650. Love it. Of course, I think about other bikes, I almost replaced with a 2014 BMW F800GT, but whenever I ride the INT, I realize there probably isn't a better package out there for me personally (maybe a Continental GT)........It's frequently gotten compliments.
