without any facts to back this idea, I doubt it would be under half by a mile. BRP look like their advertising campanine is slowly paying off.

| Great to see sales of both Polaris and BRP increase over the year they increased their support of the Aussie ATV racing. On the surface this is a great result and lets hope it continues. There might be lesson for Honda and Yamaha here. |

Yeah good to see the Polaris ramp continuing, and we can only hope that particularly Honda pull something out the bag soon.
BRP is just a big percentage up because most of the Can-Am range is so young.
Likewise, I think you'll see KTM will have a big percentage next to their name when the next set of Stats come out.
2009 will probably be a scarey year for all the manufacturers though.

| most dealerships in the big volume selling areas are selling 25 -35 farm quads [ fitted with carriers ] to one sports quad , ---- unfortunately. This is why the japanese maufacturers are so farm quad focused. As a dealer that has supported sports quads from the early days, it frustrates me no end that the distributors here dont work harder at the sports quad market, I see it as having the potential ownership per capita as the U.S. There is around 1 million ATV's a year sold in the states, around 95 % of that is recreation and sports use, only a few pecent are for what they call utility market [ Ag work]. I've seen these figures at dealer/distributor meetings. In OZ the figures are reversed, its nearly all ag market, there is heaps of potential market growth for sports quads, we can only hope the success of Can-Am and Polaris market share growth with their more sports orientated model line ups, will make the Japanese take notice. |

Well it kinda comes down to having no-where to legally ride. In America lots of legal places to ride = lots of sport quads sales. Aussie not many legal places to ride = not as many sport quads. But as more places to ride are popping up more people are getting sport quads.
Everyone probably already figured all this out by themselves though.

haft to agree here in sa we have only 1 place to ride and that’s shut till end of feb but its not stopping ppls from buying sports quads or any sort of quad for that matter, we have brought 5 this year alone, when speaking to retailers Honda they say there market of 400 quads are doing fine 450's are slow and may only sell 1 700 a year, as for yam its the opposite 450's are doing fine and 700 raps are good sellers 350 not so but talking to the biggest yam dealer here in Adelaide only last week they are expecting sales of yfz450r's to be very good which is hardly surprising being a totally new model and so much new tech
I remember my mx days you where lucky to see a quad period, but how many Chinese quads are sold a year that would be interesting specially when they only last 10 minutes  |
