What were the best-selling Japanese big bikes in the local market last year?

The Motorcycle Development Participants Program Association (MDPPA) recently released its sales report for 2020. The figures showed a steep 29.4% decline in sales for ‘The Big Four’ Japanese motorcycle companies: Honda Philippines, Yamaha Motor Philippines, Kawasaki Philippines, and Suzuki Philippines

Of the 1,206,374 units sold last year, 99.7% were motorbikes with engine displacements smaller than 400cc. On the other hand, MDPPA reported that the total sales of big bikes in 2020 reached 4,214 units—a 31.2% drop from the 6,122 units sold in 2019.
