If calculated overall, new motorcycle wholesales for the export market from January to March 2025 successfully reached 134,775 units.

Previously Predicted to Increase

As a reminder, new motorcycle sales were predicted to increase last month. Because of the Lebaran 2025 momentum.

AISI assessed that many people would spend their money on new two-wheeled vehicles during the Muslim holiday.

“Usually, the increase is two weeks before and after Lebaran,” said Sigit Kumala, Head of the Commercial Division of AISI, to KatadataOTO some time ago.

Sigit explained that this phenomenon brings a blessing to the two-wheeled vehicle industry. Because new motorcycle sales can skyrocket during the holiday.

AISI itself has not yet released retail sales data for new motorcycles in the country. They only release sales data from factories to dealers, or Wholesales.

In fact, the number obtained is quite large. It's a breath of fresh air for manufacturers amid unstable economic conditions.

“In previous years, the (increase in new motorcycle sales) was around five to seven percent,” Sigit continued.

However, AISI's prediction seems to be slightly off. Because new motorcycle wholesales dropped in the third month of 2025.
