Affordable, fuel-efficient small-displacement adventure and learner-legal bikes are gaining ground in New Zealand's motorcycle market. The CFMOTO 450MT leads with 135 units sold year-to-date, followed by the KTM 390 Adventure family at 98 units and the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 at 54, with demand concentrated on practical, affordable machines.

I see the rise of an emerging brand in this number. CFMOTO's 450MT topping the charts in New Zealand — a small Chinese adventure bike outselling KTM and Royal Enfield. Wielding affordability and practicality as weapons, Chinese makers are steadily building a foothold even in mature markets. This is symbolic sales data.

What do you mean by training-bike demand? Are riding schools buying them in bulk or something?

Seems like NZ has a trend of using small-displacement ADVs for rider training, so I bet that's baked into the numbers too.

Kind of a mixed feeling seeing a Chinese brand take the top spot, but if it's winning on price-to-spec balance, I get it.

Demand from dual-purpose training models is probably inflating the numbers, so it's not quite a straight popularity contest.

If small-displacement ADVs are the top sellers, that clearly shows NZ riders prioritizing running costs and manageability too.

Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 at 54 units in 3rd — training-bike demand is probably part of why it lands there.

CFMOTO 450MT tops the list with 135 units, a clear 54-unit gap over the KTM 390 Adventure's 98 — nice to see it laid out in hard numbers.
