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!
@@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.
I thought maybe Royal Enfield would of gained some traction in USA but are they even on the radar ? I want to test ride one this summer just to do my own personal review of it.
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.
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.
@@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?
@@mcscotty325 the list is the most motorcycles sold and the specific models period! Now why do you have issues with these numbers? The list has nothing to do with what you like nor think what should be there, but what sold the most in 2024. Do your own research and Google which models sold the most!
Uhhhhh.... I've heard from Honda reps (it's sort of a stump the dummy question) that, by far, the most popular Honda motorcycle in the US is the Grom. Are you pulling the numbers by registrations or sales?
I have that 2024 390 duke. Great bike. Its all new, has none of those issues you spoke of. I understand why it sold so well, it was just so much better than its competition.
Apparently made up, since he contradicts what Honda reps are saying about the Grom being their best selling model, and there's several articles in the web all contradicting each other
@@kennymiller8973 I don't need to counter anything. He is the one making a video and making the claim. Therefore it is on him to provide the sources for said numbers. Do you believe what every youtuber says just because they post a video? IF this youtuber has any desire to grow his channel, then its in his best interest to provide sources. If he can't do that then any video he does is useless other than another opinion and everybody has one.

I'm surprised that the YAMAHA Tenere 700 didn't even make the top 10: For a while, many YAMAHA dealerships couldn't keep one on the floor for more than a day. I'm content with my HD 2017 V-ROD Muscle but if I had the cash to blow on a 2nd bike, the Tenere would be my choice.
I have a 2022 Pan America, got in in 2023, the motor is fantastic, after you fix the starter clutch and fit the alternator upgrade (my alternator has loose magnets after 16 months). Harley Davidson need to release the Bronx, instead of the Sportster, with this motor.
You can't go 3 miles without seeing a BMW GS/GSA out here. At a coffee shop in Chagrin Falls here in Ohio, you can see 50 at any one time ready to take them, their wife, their kids, 4 tents, 14 panniers but it's just them getting coffee. 🤣 I kid a little, but the bikes are wildly popular here. Cheers 👍
I own a 1985 Vmax a 1994 Vmax and a 2014 Honda cb1100 f. All have great reliability. And start when I'm ready to go. The new stuff just leaves me bored.
Thank you for the numbers , please keep your opinions to yourself lol lol. I was butt hurt by your words lol lol. Just kidding dude, keep up the good work. I learned something here! Thank you.
In 2024 bought a z125 and a r3. In 2023 i bought a klx300 and a hayabusa. In 2025 i plan on buying the honda cbr650r and the suzuki gsxr1000r. Lol its an addiction.
@MotoStoriesandmore could the DMV not put out stats from new to you registering bikes? I get that would mean they would have to do math. And if it's not registered, do we care?
@@MotoStoriesandmore lol. I didn't mean for you to put in extra work. I think you are doing enough especially with the quality and frequency of videos as of late. Much ❤️
Seems impossible the Sportster S is the best-selling Harley. Charts say 100K were sold in the US. Maybe every variant of Softail and Road Glide are tallied separately. So it’s an apples to oranges comparison in this list.
Oh f*ck I have accidentally become one of them........I own a GSA, Klim & Schuberth thankfully I don't drink at Starbucks 🤣🤣 Own 10th place too so am I forgiven?
Sad the Bobber is the top selling Indian, FTR is a far superior bike. Harley needs to dump the ‘Taliban of sustainability’ CEO leading Harley on a ‘Luxury’ brand focus.
My amateur-rebuilt Scram is sitting in the garage for the winter, and I love the legend and the bikes. I'm sorry to have to tell you as a brand Enfield is moving around 8000 units in the US and Canada every year.
This list could double as my 10 least likely bikes to own ~ I absolutely despise the "modern looking" aesthetics of the newer sport bikes. Too many sharp edges and seems really try hard... The Indian and Honda are less offensive. The BMW isn't my thing, I prefer to have the bike specific to each task, not a "jack of all trades, master of none". I guess I'll stick with my 90s ~ 00s bikes. I've never had rider aides, I guess I never will. All the new tech is a crutch anyway. Motorcycles are fun because they're NOT childproof 🚥🏍 🚓 🚓 🚓
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!
HD executives aren't super bright getting rid of the Sportster S after selling so many
I got myself a Rebel 1100. Love it.
@@Briansgate I had a demo on one. Was surprised how much I liked it.
@@Briansgate Does it have a front end wobble?
@ up to 85mph, no. I’ve not taken it higher than that to say.
I love this bike too. And I assure you that up to 95mph there is no wobble.
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.
Can't go wrong with the GS. Parts everywhere, unbreakable engine. 1000km comfortable but also can be used on the city, etc.
@@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.
Wealth and vanity go hand in hand.
@@pcthayer However I don't see many on the streets. Must be a lot of garage queens.
PCP deals
Can you dice up the stats more?
Top 5 nakeds
Top 5 cruisers
Etc
👍🏿

It's good to see the younger men and women are getting back into bikes,
Nice one Sleepy! I really surprised they are shutting down the Sportster S...those were some good numbers!

I have a Kawasaki Z650RS here in the UK, looked at the Z650 but preferred the classic styling of the RS
I like this top 10 list. I’m proud of you America. That Beemer is expensive…….
No Ninja 400? No CRF300L? Sportster S the best selling Harley? Something wrong with this list.
@@mcscotty325 maybe it’s only new bikes sold

@harrytitus9184 It's not enough to just google something. You need sources and I suspect your sources aren't reliable.
I’ve never seen one Sportster S on the road and I’m in the SE part of the country - they aren’t selling well at all
@JayBD626 He even said in the video they are being discontinued.
I just bought a new Grom two days ago from the oldest motorcycle dealer in Houston and they said they sell more Groms than anything.
thought Grom might be first surprised it didnt make the list
Too many facts! Seasons Greetings from the Isle of Man!
Interesting. I would not expect to see these bikes in the top 10, but I like it.
Anyone who buys a z650 over an MT07, really hasn't done their homework...
@@mt09madness not everyone loves blue alien
No. Your name is mt09 so you're biased. Beginners usually get the 650s. Blame the motorcycle community, the mt07 appeals to hooligans.
Love this format sleepy! You’ve got me wondering about sales in Canada 🇨🇦? I hardly ever see a Z650 out in the wild.
ya dont think ive seen one either
most excellent list!
Uhhhhh.... I've heard from Honda reps (it's sort of a stump the dummy question) that, by far, the most popular Honda motorcycle in the US is the Grom. Are you pulling the numbers by registrations or sales?
That was my guess for #1 :)
Pulling them from somewhere.... there's several articles on the web with this same title, none have the same list, all seem random
I have that 2024 390 duke. Great bike. Its all new, has none of those issues you spoke of. I understand why it sold so well, it was just so much better than its competition.
interesting list, didn't expect kawasaki 650cc on top or even on the list LOL
Wow, I'm shocked that the Sportster S is on the list. Here in Oklahoma I would be surprised if Harley sold a hundred of them.
I've traveled everywhere with mine and seen like 2 others in 3 years.
Crazy, apparently someone is buying them. Great engine.
@@MotoStoriesandmore that great engine makes the same horsepower at the crank as my 1997 makes at the rear wheel. 🥱
Man, that is a shocker, I don’t think I have even seen one of those Kwackers. But they must be worth another look. I’ll check them out.
Provide some sources or your numbers mean nothing.
Do your own work. Then counter him mister demanding keyboard warrior.

How many scooters and Minis were sold?
Sorry if I missed it. What is the source of this sales numbers. MIC, dealership number? Where is this coming from?

The rebel also has a DCT transmission
Audio went crazy at the MT-07 intro.
Curious, maybe i missed it, but where did u get these sales numbers from?

In a particular place in Canada where I worked in an HD dealership. Not one Sportster S sold. Different strokes I guess. M8 Softails rock.
I saw the thumbnail and knew I had to click it

Completely baffled with Harleys poor engineering and poor quality that they are still in business not my hard earned money
The last is a surprise for me
I would have guessed 4 of these machines as a top ten.
Very interesting. Surprised to see an expensive bike like the GS so high up the list. BMW must be chuffed with that.

Did the Indian bobber stats include all 5 scout models?
Does this report include mini bikes like the Honda Grom, or scooters? I know .. I know.
Thank you for the numbers , please keep your opinions to yourself lol lol. I was butt hurt by your words lol lol. Just kidding dude, keep up the good work. I learned something here! Thank you.
Where are you getting your numbers?
I'm curious too. That Kawasaki at #1 makes no sense.
In 2024 bought a z125 and a r3. In 2023 i bought a klx300 and a hayabusa. In 2025 i plan on buying the honda cbr650r and the suzuki gsxr1000r. Lol its an addiction.
I was kinda left open-mouthed when I heard about the Rebel 1100 taking 2nd place.
I thought the CB500X was replaced by the NX500 in 2024.
Wondering about that stat too....WTH
#6 Honda CB500X makes the list. And of course, what does Honda do? They terminate the model. I fortunately bought one of the last ones.
The CB500X became the NX500, so what's in a name?
Suzuki VStrom 650
$5k Brand new is insane
Voting done with wallets. I wonder if there are stats on used sales.
Used would be hard to metric since a lot of bikes are person to person. But ya, that would be an interesting one to find out. 👌
@MotoStoriesandmore could the DMV not put out stats from new to you registering bikes? I get that would mean they would have to do math. And if it's not registered, do we care?
@NinjoJas0 ohhh yeah maybe. 🤔 OK. I'm going to put some thought and effort into this. I'm intrigued!! Gonna be a min, but stand by.
@@MotoStoriesandmore lol. I didn't mean for you to put in extra work. I think you are doing enough especially with the quality and frequency of videos as of late. Much ❤️
Do a prediction for 2025??
What, no 2024 Ducati Panigale 1000 V4R? At only $52K (with race Kit including titanium race exhaust) they are pretty sporty scooters... :)
BMW at 3 😮
Seems impossible the Sportster S is the best-selling Harley. Charts say 100K were sold in the US. Maybe every variant of Softail and Road Glide are tallied separately. So it’s an apples to oranges comparison in this list.
Amazed
Kawasaki KLR not on the list
Woulda been my sure bet
All make sense.
Lol at HD. Lifes too short to ride junk i guess.
No RE in this list...shocking
That new Sportster is made in Thailand it ain't American.
@@Gotcha-s3z That in itself makes it a better bike.
Im just shocked how much money people have haha
A top ten list? Did you lose a bet to the Misfits?
@@danhostiuck4453 😂
Oh f*ck I have accidentally become one of them........I own a GSA, Klim & Schuberth thankfully I don't drink at Starbucks 🤣🤣 Own 10th place too so am I forgiven?
I think you mean what “new” bikes sold the most in 2024..
Golfer eh?
Sad the Bobber is the top selling Indian, FTR is a far superior bike. Harley needs to dump the ‘Taliban of sustainability’ CEO leading Harley on a ‘Luxury’ brand focus.
Yes ftr is a much better bike. The bobber is a fashion statement
Do you have to drag it out like this. Nah man 🤨😠😡
