Exports of 50cc units up to the USA from Japan

http://blog.guidoebert.com/ is reporting that Sales in Japan to the USA are down again.

I think the big news in all this is actually if you read between the lines. 2011 shows exports of 9182 pieces of 50cc and under. This increased from 2010 meaning either little kid dirtbike sales went up or scooters went up which is more than likely because that spike in 2008 of 24,303 pieces were all the Ruckus and Zuma units being produced at a crazy pace to keep up with demand.

Let's see if the trend continues for 2012


PRODUCTION
Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki & Yamaha produced 638,987 units at their domestic factories in 2011, down 3.8% compared to 664,175 vehicles produced in 2010, according to figures compiled by the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association (JAMA).
Honda produced 200,493 powersports vehicles in Japan in 2011, down compared to 201,007 units in 2010;Kawasaki produced 115,420 units last year, up compared to 112,752 units in the prior 12-month period;Suzuki produced 160,200 units, down compared to 167,606 units; and Yamaha produced 162,821 units, down compared to 182,734 units.
EXPORTS
The four manufacturers exported 504,985 vehicles from Japan in 2011, up 2.3% compared to 493,464 units shipped in 2010.
Honda shipped 121,914 units in 2011, up compared to 106,400 units 2010; Kawasaki shipped 109,067 units last year, nearly even to 109,019 units in the prior year; Suzuki exported 116,273 units, up compared to 113,184 units; and Yamaha shipped 157,731 units, down compared to 164,861 units.
Powersports vehicle shipments to the U.S. in 2011 totaled 164,875 units, up compared to 88,074 units shipped stateside in 2010.
EXPORTS TO THE U.S.
                                    2011       2010         2009        2008       2007
50cc & Under           9,182       4,065      8,344       24,303    21,331

CF MOTO USA what went right or wrong?

I don't know what's up with CF MOTO. The ever changing mainland management that's been in charge since Lev the president left has given everyone the cold shoulder. I'm lucky if whoever is in charge any given month actually remembers MRP is their main parts partner in the USA. Hello? We've solved hundreds of little warranty issues for you guys.

It's a shame because I've helped many of the employees out over the years. I've also helped a few of them hunt for new jobs as management has continuously let go of very good talent.

The brand is still doing well in Canada and South America, but this year I just found out they won't be at the Dealer Expo. You can't go from having the biggest booth to not being there, it just sends the wrong signals.

I did find something online that impressed me and that was something one of the dealers did donating a Police Bike. Now if CF MOTO had don't this with a few hundred V5 units instead of spending money on Daytona and several unnecessary sponsorship's it would have been the number one bike in the world.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZhph-aAYVc&feature=plcp&context=C3c8f2d1UDOEgsToPDskL4PE9JaqjDfueGZ2AnmNq4



You see a cop on a V5. You wan't one. Maybe it's just me. The last few years I have lost a lot of respect for bankers, politicians, but I still believe in the men and women of the armed forces and our police officials. Yes, they are human, some make mistakes, but when you see a firefighter or a cop rushing towards danger while everyone runs away you want to be like them. The kid in you looks up to them.

If you see a police officer on a V5 ( much like a Honda or Harley ) you want to be the guy on the V5. This dealer had the right idea. Police officers can make great early adopters of new trends, tech, and vehicles. Do they look funny on a Segway? Absolutely, but eventually they stand out and look cool. It gives you a sense of security.

CF MOTO should have worked this angle. Mad props to Flatsquirel scooters for putting this video online.http://www.flatsquirrelscooters.com/

The worst still not over another store closes

This is terrible but it goes back to everything I've been saying you can't survive just with luxury items.
Bikers Boulevard a Genuine Scooter Company, Aprilia / Vespa - Piaggio Group scooters lost another dealer in North Carolina this winter, they finally closed their doors after 14 years open.

Bikers Boulevard
9004 Glenwood Ave
Raleigh, NC 27617


What I have been preaching for the last 6 years is to repair everything. Clearly its the only way to survive. You cannot fight the Chinese everything is made there! I don't know how many times I get in this coversation with people every week. I sound like a broken record. Even Piaggio and Aprilia come from China.

You probably won't hear about this or read about it in the magazines. If you check the respective distributors they already removed Bikers Boulevard as a dealer from their websites, and the press won't cover this since everyone is trying to stay positive going to Dealer Expo. However, there is more than can be learned here which is what the magazines fail to do. You need to tell dealers the truth and the truth is you can't fight China and consumers don't have as much money as they used to. So you will sell 5 Jonways for every Genuine or Vespa in the shop. You need to have the low end product to make payroll.

You also can't only sell Kymco or Genuine. PGO scooters are pretty expensive even by Taiwanese standards so you need to have a high range, middle, and low range product price point. You also can't survive on only high end Vespa's making 10% on a sale, stores have too much overhead to survive on something so low.

Only by servicing everything and selling accessories do stores have a chance of survival in today's market.

If I meet another dealer at the show this year that tells me they only service Vespa. I will go nuts on them. I used to be that guy ten years ago. I only sold "Italian" I only sold Malaguti. I didn't want to touch Chinese products and smarter people who could see into the future would warn me. Guess what? They were right. Malaguti didn't open a factory in Asia or get a partner and look what happened.

You don't have to be a prophet to see the future, but high end shops in America can only survive by taking care of all the clients out there.

Here we continue our talks on how small scooter shops can stay profitable. The truth is you have to repair everything. ONLY ONE DISTRIBUTOR IN THE USA has parts for Zongshen (China), Malaguti (Italy), Diamo, TNG, CPI (Taiwan), DAELIM ( Korean ) Keeway - QJ - ANdretti - Yamati ( CHina ) and thats MRP we help your store stay profirable. Chinese parts are not all the same so if your store wants to make money, repair everything. Vespa shops that only repair Vespa close every other week, the same applies to Honda dealers we saw them close by the dozen in 2008 and 2009. If you want to money repair everything you come across. The repair manuals are on our website at http://www.mrp-speed.com under repair manuals and as a store you can call us for the parts.


Did you say Dealer Expo booth 4166 MRP?


MIAMI, FL – February 1,  2012  – Martin Racing Performance “MRP”, announces its Successful Viral Video Campaign for Dealer Expo 2012 booth 4166.

It’s difficult to stand out at a trade show, especially one where you’re up against major companies like Parts Unlimited with unlimited funds for ads and dealer meetings. To stand out from the crowd MRP has uploaded 5 videos announcing its booth at the Expo in two weeks. 

The YouTube videos have attracted 1,200 hits in a week and allowed MRP to make appointments with potential new clients from all over the world. In the niche market of dealer viral advertising for a trade show those are great numbers. President Joel Martin states “It gives us an edge when talking to the clients, right now it’s a conversation piece, I was the first guy to dress up as a doctor 3 years ago in a video and soon afterwards its spawned several imitators online, now I’m a cowboy and I have dealers calling saying we can’t wait to see the cowboy again.” 

Expect to see more of MRP at booth 4166 at the 2012 Dealer Expo in Indianapolis Indiana on February 17th
