Reading stats from the Motorcycle & Moped Industry Council (MMIC) for Canada in 2013. Was a promising year of growth, here's some numbers:

2013 sales were up 7.8% from 2012, with a total of 54,494 being sold (2012 was up 3.88% from 2011).
65% of sales were streetbikes.
22% of sales were dual pupose/off road/scooters.
13% of sales were motocross copetition.

And here is the best/most meaningful stat, and it's a whopper:
Small bikes (250-400cc) sales were up in 2013 by 322% (claiming mostly due to CBR250, Ninja 250 and Ninja 300).

Just provided for you information/curiosity.
 
Im keeping my distance from all riders.

Any stats for fatalities?
 
Small bike does NOT mean new rider. There are riders who ride for the economic reasons. I work with one person who rides a 1981 Yamaha XS400. He has been riding it for three years, it gets almost 60 MPG, and he rides it to work, and to job sites. (He gets paid mileage to visit sites so pockets that money) he figures the money he makes from mileage has paid for the bike three times over.

I said "all riders"

As soon as it gets warm, there will be drivers not expecting or familiar with motorcyclists coupled with biker "show-offs". I plan to hold off riding until things settle in, that is just my risk tolerance.
 
Do you have access to the data by make and model and segments

Would be interesting to see how many the big 4 and BMW Ducati and KTM sell.

Maybe this means they will bring more smaller displacement bikes here. Like the Yamaha 250/300. Nomnomnom

So let's say there were 10,000 "small bikes" sold and then the next year they sold 30,000 while the overall number barely changed? I find that very hard to believe unless someone botched data or it wasn't complete.

Agreed, I thought we were still in the recession in 2012-2013
 
322% uptick in small cc bikes could easily mean only 2000 units sold .... plus it would not equate to 2000 new riders buying first machine ....

Most bikes will get close to that mileage, even a 1400cc harley will do well on the hwy, city maybe not so much.
