Motorcycle Dealers
Description
Brief Excerpt from Industry Overview Chapter:
Companies in this industry sell new and used motorcycles, scooters, motorbikes, all-terrain vehicles, personal watercraft, and other motor vehicles; they also may offer repair services, parts, and accessories. No major companies dominate the industry; most have a single retail outlet.
COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Discretionary personal income and interest rates drive demand, since motorcycles are high-ticket purchases and often financed. The profitability of individual companies depends on volume and sales of higher-margin goods like heavyweight motorcycles. Large dealers have advantages in broad inventory selections and negotiating power with manufacturers. Small dealers can compete effectively by providing superior customer service or offering unique services, like bike customization.
PRODUCTS, OPERATIONS & TECHNOLOGY
Major products include new and used motorcycles, scooters, and motorbikes (about 35% of US revenue), boats and other sports vehicles (about 30%), and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) at about 10%. Apparel, parts, and accessories are known as aftermarket products. Most products sold by motorcycle dealers are known as power sports products. Many dealers offer repair, maintenance, customization, installation, or insurance services.
