Which motorbikes have been most popular in 2020?

At the end of a year, it is always worth looking back to see what were the most popular motorbikes of the year. Of course, 2020 has been a year like no other, but the motorbike industry has managed to weather the storm despite the challenges that COVID-19 presented. Here are a few of the most popular bikes over the last 12 months.

Ducati Panigale V2

The Italian manufacturer has a reputation for manufacturing great-looking bikes and the Panigale V2 is no different, plus it has been given a host of upgrades which has helped to make it faster while also being easier to ride and thus making it more appealing to a larger group.

BMW F900 XR

The F900 XR has been given a makeover with a stylish new dashboard and stylised outlines to the headlights, plus the engine has been updated to a two-cylinder to boost the performance so it is easy to see why this has been one of the most popular bikes this year.

Harley Davidson Low Rider S

It is unsurprising to see that a Harley makes the list with the Low Rider S proving to be hugely popular this year. The Low Rider S has the classic Harley look with an added sporty vibe, helping it to appeal to a larger group not to mention its powerful performance and brand allure.

KTM 890 Duke R

The KTM 890 Duke R is an upgrade on the 790 Duke which was known as ‘The Scalpel’ due to its razor-sharp handling, so you can be sure that the 890 Duke R is a joy to ride furthered by a 119bhp despite being even lighter than its predecessor.

Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX

The Ninja 1000SX from Kawasaki is unsurprisingly one of the best-selling bikes in 2020 largely due to the fact that it is such a great allrounder. The attractive bike is perfect for commuters, riding on the motorway or exploring country lanes.

Yamaha MT-125

Many people have purchased their first bike in 2020 due to the pandemic and the Yamaha MT-125 is a great beginner’s bike, so it is no surprise that it has been so popular. It is important for new riders to get the best insurance in place too, so this is an area that anyone new to motorcycling needs to spend some time researching.

These are a few of the most popular bikes of the year and ones which have been selling fast despite the pandemic.
