The large displacement motorcycle market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $27.15 billion in 2024 to $28.9 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising disposable incomes, urbanization and infrastructure development, lifestyle and status aspirations, expansion of the middle-class population, and increasing demand for performance bikes.
The large displacement motorcycle market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $36.65 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the rising popularity of motorcycle touring, expanding enthusiast communities, increasing localization of production, government initiatives promoting tourism, and growing interest in track day events. Key trends during this period include enhanced engine efficiency, the development of electric large-displacement motorcycles, collaborations between technology and automotive companies, strengthening of dealer networks, and the integration of smart connectivity features.
The growing number of motorcycle enthusiasts is expected to drive the expansion of the large displacement motorcycle market in the future. Motorcycle enthusiasts are passionate riders who enjoy riding, customizing, collecting motorcycles, and participating in related events or communities. This group is increasing as motorcycles provide an economical and fuel-efficient alternative for navigating urban traffic and coping with rising fuel costs. Seasoned riders often upgrade to more powerful motorcycles for improved comfort and performance. Large displacement motorcycles come equipped with advanced features that make them well-suited for touring and sport riding, and their strong appeal as lifestyle symbols and status icons further fuels demand. For example, in January 2025, a report from the Retail Motor Industry Federation Limited, a UK-based trade association, noted that total motorcycle registrations more than doubled in December 2024, surging by 114% from 5,236 to 11,206 units. Similarly, motorcycle sales saw a sharp rise of 122.6%, increasing from 4,854 to 10,807 units, while moped registrations experienced a modest growth of 6%, reaching 373 units. Thus, the expanding number of motorcycle enthusiasts is set to bolster the growth of the large displacement motorcycle market.
Key players in the large displacement motorcycle market are concentrating on developing technologically advanced models, such as large displacement naked motorcycles, to improve maintenance and accessibility. These naked motorcycles are powerful bikes, typically over 750 cc, designed without extensive fairings, offering a minimalist aesthetic combined with robust performance and upright riding posture. For instance, in March 2024, Austria-based manufacturer Husqvarna Motorcycles introduced the 2024 Svartpilen 801, the largest displacement naked motorcycle to date. It features a lightweight 181 kg design and a potent 799 cc parallel-twin engine producing 105 hp, delivering an agile and exhilarating ride. The chromium-molybdenum steel frame ensures an optimal balance of rigidity and flexibility, while innovative engine technology extends service intervals to 15,000 km and improves fuel efficiency. Advanced components like the Power Assist Slipper Clutch, Easy Shift system, and adjustable WP APEX suspension enhance comfort, traction, and handling on diverse terrains. Its sleek design, cutting-edge electronics, and optional Dynamic Pack - offering features such as Motor Slip Regulation and Anti-Wheelie mode - position it as a premium, performance-oriented street motorcycle.
