Motorcycle Aftermarket Survey – 2022

5th April 2022 by Motorcycleminds Leave a Comment

Motorcyclists (including scooter and moped riders) like to have a bike that is in good condition and that won’t break down, so part of owning a motorcycle is to regularly maintain it and when necessary, repair it or get it repaired.

We all know that sometimes replacement parts can be expensive and not always easy to find. So, it makes sense to ask riders about their experiences and the cost of getting their bikes repaired as well as finding replacement parts.

This survey aims to identify the cost of motorcycle repairs, in particular those motorcycle parts sold by motorcycle manufacturers (OEMs), the independent sector and second-hand dealers or salvage yards.

The objective is to understand parts pricing in general as well as the cost of repairing motorcycles by dealers, repair shops or independent mechanics in different countries in order to compare the costs of maintaining a motorcycle.

For a motorcyclist, the replacement of any particular part because of wear or damage can be a costly affair.  What this survey intends to discover is where the cost of specific parts and repairs are the most expensive or cheapest to offer riders information so that hopefully they can get better deals.

There are 12 questions in this survey plus extra space at the end of the survey so that riders can give us their views and provide information that they think might be useful.

The survey is anonymous and none of the questions are mandatory.

The survey ends on 31st July 2022 and the findings should be ready to publish in October 2022.

Europe - The Motorrijdersactiegroep MAG (MAG Netherlands) where lining up to go to Brussels regarding the mandatory Road Worthiness Testing proposals by the European Commission that would effect them!

They state: "We were in the starting blocks to drive to Brussels in April for a massive APK protest - but now the Transport Council has spoken out against the plans of the European Commission."

"The most important part of that statement is that the current exceptional measure for a mandatory motorcycle inspection remains: member states may - subject to conditions - therefore continue to abstain from a motorcycle APK."

"Of course, that also applies to the Netherlands: our government doesn't want such an inspection at all."

"On the above news, everyone cheers that the inspection here is definitively done, but an agreement has yet to be reached."

"So don't celebrate too early. But as one of our European experts noted with an extremely British wink: "It's good to know that Europe (the commission, the parliament, etc.) doesn't like to engage in unimportant matters. And it's certainly good to know that motorcyclists are insignificant. "

"So we have good hope. Our planned ride will remain a planned ride until then."We stonden in de startblokken om in april voor een massale APK-protestrit naar Brussel te rijden - maar nu heeft de Transportraad zich tegen de plannen van de Europese Commissie uitgesproken. Belangrijkste onderdeel van die uitspraak is dat de Transportraad wil dat de huidige uitzonderingsmaatregel voor een verplichte motorkeuring behouden blijft: lidstaten mogen dan - onder voorwaarden - dus van een motor-APK blijven afzien. Dat geldt natuurlijk ook voor Nederland: onze overheid wil zo'n keuring helemaal niet.

Op bovenstaand nieuws juichte de motorpers dat de keuring hier definitief van de baan is, maar er moet nog wel een akkoord bereikt worden. Niet te vroeg feestvieren dus. Maar zoals een van onze Europa-deskundigen al met een uiterst Britse knipoog opmerkte: "Het is goed om te weten dat de Europa (de commissie, het parlement, enzovoort) niet graag met onbelangrijke zaken bezig is. En het is zeker ook goed om te weten dat motorrijders onbelangrijk zijn." We hebben dus goede hoop. Onze geplande rit blijft tot die tijd nog een geplande rit.
