Motorbike registrations in Türkiye exceeded 1 million during the first 10 months of 2024, marking the first time this figure has crossed the 1 million threshold.
This represents a 27.7% increase compared to the same period in 2023.
The rising demand for two-wheelers is particularly evident in major cities, driven by factors like growing population density and more affordable prices.
