The UK’s new bike market kept up its 2026 recovery in July, with fresh figures from the Motorcycle Industry Association (MCIA) showing registrations climbing across almost every category.
A total of 10,644 machines were registered in July 2026, up 17.5% on the 9057 recorded in the same month last year. That leaves the market up 15.6% year-to-date compared with last year.
The standout story is the Honda CB1000GT, which topped the adventure category in July – its first month on sale. The £11,999 tall-rounder only reached UK dealers from July, after Honda delayed its launch to prioritise a permanent fix for the excessive oil consumption affecting the related CB1000 Hornet.
And the CB1000GT was far from Honda’s only success. The big H was the runaway best-selling manufacturer with 2292 registrations, more than double second-placed Yamaha, with BMW, Triumph and Lexmoto rounding out the top five.
