What is a Motorcycle Dealership Business?

A motorcycle dealership is a retail and service business that sells and supports the sale of motorcycle products and services. These establishments are used to represent, by means of an authorized sales channel, a product to the motorcycle-enthusiast to realize the best in motorcycle transportation and riding education, both new and used motorcycles, parts and accessories, and financing.

In addition to the sale of new motorcycles, motorcycle dealerships may offer programs for the sale of certified pre-owned vehicles (CPOs), finance and insurance products, motorcycle parts and accessories, scheduled maintenance and warranty repair, and the installation of custom motorcycle products. Dealerships may also offer motorcycle rider training and customer care for the motorcycling lifestyle.

These include mono-branded dealers, multi-branded dealers and specialty motorcycle dealers offering a combination of the above services. They focus on sourcing genuine products, technical expertise, customer relationship management, rider safety training, community building, brand loyalty programs and customer satisfaction.

Motorcycle Dealerships typically use high-energy showroom displays, service bays, computer diagnostic equipment, parts inventory control systems, customer relationship management systems, finance systems, rider training, and sales performance analytics to achieve their goals.

Depending on their placement, these establishments range anywhere from authorized brand dealerships to independent multi-brand retailers, to stand-alone high-performance specialty shops, to full-service motorcycle lifestyle facilities that provide the entire range of motorcycle ownership experiences for every kind of riding, enthusiast, and skill level.

Motorcycle Dealership Business Market Trends and Growth Drivers

The following trends are expected to continue to support the Motorcycle Dealership industry: the growth of motorcycles as a form of cost-effective commuting, the growth of motorcycle touring and leisure riding, and the growth of motorcycles as alternative forms of transportation. Adventure tourism, urban transportation alternatives, and the motorcycle culture are increasing demand for quality motorcycle retail opportunities and services in the Motorcycle Dealership industry. These include the growing popularity of electric motorcycles, along with sustainable and responsible mobility with adventure touring and premium motorcycle experiences improved with growing customer dependencies on authorized dealers, professional maintenance, and ready access to genuine parts and accessories in an integrated mobility ecosystem.

In response, operators are investing in more advanced diagnostic and parts inventory systems, customer experience showrooms and rider education facilities and processes, and in the certification of basic and advanced skills by manufacturers. These investments meet rider demand while improving business performance within the broader personal mobility and motorized recreational vehicle trends.

With motorcycle dealerships, revenue diversification or additional revenue streams can help reduce risks: aside from selling motorcycles, revenue may be earned by selling service and maintenance contracts, selling parts and accessories, offering extended warranties, motorcycle rentals, rider training, commissions from financing and insurance companies, and selling custom motorcycle modifications.

Dealers in locations where there are many motorcycle owners, that are close to established motorcycle communities, that are visible from the highway, and that are near motorcyclist attractions tend to have more reliable volumes of customers and greater brand awareness. Their facilities are more modern, their operations more controlled, and their safety compliance and adherence to manufacturer specifications more visible and credible to customers.

The main risks to the business include technology risk, in respect of motorcycle technology (for example the trend to electric cars); competition from other dealers and online retailers; dependence on the delivery and pricing policies of their manufacturers; seasonability of sales; and regulation in respect of emissions and safety standards.

The business model for a sustainable Motorcycle Dealership is that financial resources are committed to ensuring a quality showroom facility with a service department, motorcycles, parts and accessories in stock, state of the art diagnostic and customer relationship equipment, sales associates and certified technicians. Plans and programs need to be developed for customer loyalty and brand development, targeting motorcycle and lifestyle consumers. In providing high-quality products, expert service, and extraordinary customer experiences, these businesses can help develop a community riding culture and assist customers' sustainable, enjoyable experiences of motorcycle ownership.
