“Yamaha has enjoyed a stellar 2024 due to the loyalty of our customers and the efforts of our staff, dealers and partners,” says Yamaha Motor Australia General Manager Sales and Marketing - Land Mobility, Matthew Ferry.

“Our number one status is also due to Yamaha’s wide product range that offers a choice to customers whether they commute in the city, work on the farm or enjoy recreational riding. No other brand can offer so many personal mobility solutions. Next year we aim to build on this extraordinary retail result and create even more customers for life,” adds Ferry.

Yamaha sold 23,526 units in 2024 when the overall market size was 94,224. That makes for an overall market share of 25% across all categories – which in turn means one in every four vehicles sold in Australia by reporting brands in 2024 was a Yamaha. Other impressive market share results for 2024 include:
