German motorcycle manufacturer, BMW Motorrad, has announced that they have managed to keep sales numbers at pace in the premium motorcycle segment during the first quarter of the calendar year 2020. The company delivered 1,024 motorcycles to customers.

These numbers are impressive given the current situation of the Auto Industry. BMW Motorrad India has witnessed growth of 71.5 per cent during the months January and March 2020, as compared to the same period during last year.

Mr Rudratej Singh, the President and Chief Executive Officer at the BMW Group India said, "BMW Motorrad India has posted robust growth in Q1 2020, a result of the extremely strong brand we have built among motorcycling enthusiasts in India."

"BMW Motorrad has brought its most aspirational and desirable global products to Indian customers and developed a truly close-knit riding community that attracts riders who use motorcycling as a means to explore life. The G310 and GS range are extremely popular among the Indian motorcyclists," he added.

BMW Motorrad also said that they had put riding events on hold to ensure social distancing, but were engaging heavily with fellow riders digitally, and via social media channels. The company is closely monitoring markets, and other developments that will impact future demand.

A majority of growth that BMW witnessed was driven by the brand's popular BMW G 310 R and BMW G 310 GS motorcycle models. The machines account for over 80 per cent of yearly sales in the country.

Other fan favorites are the BMW R 1250 GS, the R 1250 GSA, the F 750, the 850 GS, the 850 GSA, and the S 1000 RR. These models account for up to 20 per cent of total nationwide sales.

BMW Financial Services India has played a key role in facilitating a growth in sales while under challenging market conditions. The customisable and flexible financial solutions are a valuable offering to the brand's premium clientele.
