The scale of the fall domestic market can be described as "catastrophic". According to Autostat, in 2015 sales, and in 2016 - by another 39.6%. Think it's worse? But no - the market for new ATVs (and it has practically no "secondary" ones), according to individual representatives of the industry, has fallen by more than 80%.
The ATV market, in addition to the collapsed ruble, finished off a new recycling fee, under which everyone fell, except for the domestic company Velomotors (), but it also raised prices after the rest of the players. Later it became known that Chinese manufacturer CF-Moto, due to which it will be able to avoid tax overpayments and compete with Stealth near Moscow.
Least "dipped" premium segment- general rise in price and inclusion in the price disposal fee V percentage It did not affect the price so much, and the buyers of these devices are far from primarily guided by price lists.

Motorcyclists have passed the new tax so far, but the question still remains open - the likelihood of its introduction in the next couple of years exists, as well as the likelihood of falling under the law on mandatory certification and the availability of the ERA-GLONASS system for motorcycles imported into Russia.
On the import of used cars and “gray” imports (by unofficial dealers), this innovation actually put an end to, and also “buried” all cars imported in small runs, because certification, which includes several crash tests, costs much more than it can make money on the sale of certain specialties.
However, the likelihood of new shocks should not be discounted: Russia's membership in the WTO implies a gradual reduction in customs duties, which is why an increase in the import of imported equipment is expected in 2019. The dreams of motorists about a little-worn foreign car for little money are already in the past, but we motorcyclists seem to have a chance. At least until the motorcycle market grows to any appreciable size.

But this is the future, but what about the present? And in the present, everything is not so bad! The market sank three times? Let's compare the numbers: in the "pre-crisis" year of 2013, they asked for 812,000 rubles ($ 26,193) for a new "automatic", at a dollar exchange rate of 31 rubles. Today, at a rate of 56 rubles, the new "Vyfer" costs 1,310,000 rubles. ($23,392). In rubles, it has risen in price, but in dollar terms - on the contrary! In order to maintain sales volumes, importers decided to reduce the markup, which means they must bring more equipment in 2017 in order to stay on their own.
Autostat for the third year in a row registers a drop in sales of motorcycles, while the choice of available models is steadily growing
A similar picture can be observed with many other positions in major manufacturers. For example, in 2013, which cost 550,000 rubles, it went up by only 218 thousand, and today it can be bought for 768,000 rubles. In terms of dollars - $ 17,741 in the 13th year and $ 13,000 today. If you do not pay attention to random exceptions to the rules, like jumping from 79,000 rubles to insane 155,000 and “growing up” even in dollars, motorcycles have not risen in price much.
For three years, the tourist F800GT added 218 thousand rubles in price, with an almost two-fold increase in the exchange rate. Photo - BMW Motorrad
You will say: what dollars, salaries are given in depreciated rubles, and you will be right, but only in part. In 2013, the average salary in the country was 27,000 rubles (it is clear that in the Central Federal District it was more - 33 thousand, and, for example, in the Belgorod Region - only 18.6 thousand, but the average temperature in the hospital was just that ). We needed to spend 30 of our conditional average salaries on the purchase of a new "".
What about today? Now the average salary in Russia, based on data from 2016, is about 36,000 rubles, while in the Central Federal District it has grown to 43,700, and in the same Belgorod region - up to 27,300 rubles, and now you have to pay 36.5 of your average salaries for Vyfer.
Recently, Rosstat reported that in 2016 the salaries of employees in the motorcycle industry almost doubled! Photo-Moto-RR
As you can see, the difference is not that big. So why did we “fall” so much then? Maybe they just started counting money more carefully? Now the currency shock has already passed, we have learned to live with a dollar “at sixty”, to earn a little more, which means that soon, if we don’t start living better, then at least we will try no worse than in the 13th year.
Manufacturers themselves add reasons for optimism - quite budgetary ones are gradually coming to our market, but quite modern devices like or, which would have looked like a good offer before - 300 thousand rubles for a new BMW! It turns out that the crisis really went into the hands of the assortment as a whole - the “top” models did not decrease!
New naked BMW G310R can be purchased for only 300,000 rubles! In 2013, one could only dream of such a thing.
It seems that in two years of rapid descent, we have hit the bottom for the first time, and if nothing really bad happens, we will be able to properly push off from this bottom and emerge much higher than the pre-crisis values. Ascent rudders, blow out the ballast!

In addition to the modifications described above, the Minsk brand can be noted, which comes out in the classic, cross style and enduro category. Also on the market are light motorcycles and street scooters, which differ in their original configuration. One of the most popular manufacturers are IZH and Ural. No less famous among the motorcycles of Russia earlier "Sunrise", on given time not issued.

What can you buy for about 350,000 rubles? The answer is in our review.
What does the ideal, exemplary motorcycle purchase look like? Like that. You wake up in the morning with the thought: “But should I buy a Goose? Or “Do I need to go to the KTM salon for the Adventure? ... Then go and buy the coveted device!
Dreams, dreams... In reality, everything is more prosaic - obstacles to the possession of an object of worship often erect severe financial restrictions. We set the bar at 350,000 rubles with the possibility of an emergency increase in the budget by about 50 thousand more and tried to figure out what we could take for this money.
European giants
KTM and paradise are two three-letter words. They don't rhyme, but they are close in meaning. Judge for yourself: in Russia, the famous Austrian brand offers a whole armada of inexpensive devices that, in general, do not cause melancholy. The naked 200 Duke boasts the most humane price tag: total 199 900 rubles. For this money, you will get a 200 cc engine with 26 hp. and "changeling" WP.
"Dobiv" yet 130 000 rubles, you can buy a more serious device - 390 Duke, equipped with a "single-barrel" with a volume of 373 "cubes" about 44 "horses". The brake system, like the younger Duke, with a front disc with a diameter of 280 mm and a rear 230 mm.
Don't call us sadists, but we can't help but mention the 2015 KTM RC 390 sportbike for… 299 900 rubles. Alas, the chances of finding this little handsome man for such an attractive price tag are lower every day, but there are devices of 2016 for 349 900 rubles. Its engine is shared with the 390 Duke, front brake disk 300mm, and the fork is shorter.
The concept of "BMW" and " budget motorcycle» seem mutually exclusive? It's time to change your mind! Yes, until recently it was, but now there is a handsome roadster G 310 R - with anti-lock braking system brakes in basic configuration and starting price 309 000 rubles. The motorcycle is equipped with a four-valve “single-barrel” (34 hp at 9500 rpm and 28 Nm at 7500 rpm) and is capable of speeds up to 145 km/h. By the way, he comes to us not from Germany at all, but comes from India. As, in fact, and all of the above "orange" Austrians. In India, the G 310 R is produced at the facilities of the local motorcycle giant TVS Motor Company.
japanese extras
We say “budget Yamaha”, we mean YBR 125. The price of the issue is divine, at first glance, 159 000 rubles. Unless, of course, we forget that until recently the price tag for it was half as much. By the way, in Europe the “old man” has already changed with an engine corresponding to environmental regulations Euro 4, and it will appear in the dealerships of the Old World in March, but Russian perspectives while foggy. Oh well, it’s still not clear how to call it short: the abbreviation YS is not easy to “Russify”, especially after the legendary YBR!
Between the YBR 125 and the Naked Fazer 250, the price gap gapes: the cost of the latter is estimated at considerable 396 900 rubles. This is noticeably higher than our budget limit, but when you really want to, then ... you can! Sometimes the solution to the problem is to prematurely execute the piggy bank or call a friend who is ready to lend the missing amount for an indefinite long-term period. Or even a bank loan secured by, for example, kidneys. You don’t buy YZF-R1M for 1.8 million rubles! Fazer 250, we recall, is equipped with a single-cylinder air vent (21 hp at 8000 rpm and 20.5 Nm at 6500 rpm).
Another option from Yamaha for a comparable amount ( 395 910 rubles) - YZF-R3 sportbike. Yes, yes, a dashing-looking device that appears on a consumer site Japanese brand in the Supersport section! The fork, unlike the newest YZF-R15 v3.0, is a regular one, not an inverted one. The engine is an in-line "two" about 42 "horses" at 10,750 rpm and developing 29.6 Nm at 9000 rpm.
Most accessible Honda model in the Russian market - minisportbike CBR300RA. A promotion for a handsome man with a two-shaft single-cylinder engine (286 "cubes", 30.5 hp at 8500 rpm) with an anti-lock brake system made it possible to buy it for 389 000 rubles, i.e. still within our extended budget. But if you haven't been able to use special program until February 28, the price will be 451,000 rubles.
..
Suzuki's budget offering is the small but athletic GW250. His engine is a two-cylinder 248 cc, developing 25 hp. Price from 265 000 rubles.
There is something to profit from in the Kawasaki palette. Interestingly, the “greens”, as if trying to brighten up the cohabitation of riders with small-capacity bikes, offer them in a bright and even aggressive “wrapper”. The junior line with 249cc “single-barrels” (28 hp at 9700 rpm and 22.6 Nm at 8200 rpm), consisting of the naked Z250SL and the Ninja 250SL minisport bike, fascinates with its design. The price, taking into account the segment of these devices, cannot be called low even within the framework of the sale - from 314,000 and 324,000 rubles respectively. But our limit includes.
A truly seductive offer from "Kava" - another "undressed" handsome Z300SL. The bike is very spectacular and visually sharp - it seems that you can get hurt just by looking at it! The motor is two-cylinder, the return is 39 “horses” at 11,000 rpm and 27 Nm at 10,000 rpm. The budget for the acquisition of such a "Japanese" - from 329 000 rubles. He also has a Ninja 300 sportbike modification with an identical chassis and engine. It costs from 379 000 rubles.
Shocking Asia
The range of budget KTMs is very diverse, but the palette of affordable Bajaj “Indians” is even richer, and the price tags are noticeably lower. By the way, Austrian mark It was not by chance that we mentioned Bajaj in the context of the discussion: the eastern company owns 48% of KTM assets, and the naked Dominar 400 that we got is equipped with a 390 Duke engine.
The price of the Dominar 400 came as a surprise: the bike will cost 250 000 rubles, which is lower than expected. Bajaj is equipped with a 35-horsepower 373 cc single-barrel injection. see, it is equipped with a slipper clutch, anti-lock braking system, front 320 mm brake disc and LED headlight.
If finances are running out, then you will have to compromise with yourself and choose a model entry level- Boxer BM 150 and its X version with brighter design. Price tag from 81 900 rubles fully corresponds to the equipment of the motorcycle - a 144.8 cc air vent with a capacity of 12 "horses" and a drum brake mechanisms. In general, for the countryside will do.
The Pulsar line makes a much more joyful impression, although it opens its 149.5 cc "naked" NS 150 for 121 900 rubles. The remaining three members of the family are equipped with a single-cylinder four-valve liquid cooling 199.5 cu. see (23.5 l / s at 9500 rpm and 18.3 N.m at 8000 rpm). The most affordable among them is the naked NS 200, starting from 179 900 rubles. Up to a hundred, this "Indian" accelerates. More precisely, it even accelerates in 9.8 s, and the limit of its capabilities is 136 km / h.
The performance of the Pulsar AS 200 with a semi-rewinder does not differ in its dynamic parameters from the NS 200, and in terms of the curb weight of 153 kg it is almost identical to its brother, but the aerodynamics are clearly more comfortable on the track. Yes, it looks more expensive! Symbolic surcharge 6000 rubles.
Minisport Tourer RS 200 for 229 900 rubles with a "muzzle" a la the face of Bumblebee from "Transformers" stands apart. visual differences it has more than the aforementioned Pulsar, and the engine with a fuel injection system is slightly different in terms of output per “horse” - 24.5 hp. at 9750 rpm with virtually unchanged torque. But the rider is unlikely to feel this increase in power, which, moreover, is leveled by a large curb weight of 165 kg. Brake system with ABS.
The bike from Bajaj with the largest engine is the mini cruiser Avenger 220 DTS-i. "Avenger" with a 220-cc single-barrel (19 hp at 8400 rpm and 17.5 Nm at 7000 rpm) will be appreciated by unpretentious and economical: the price starts from 149 000 rubles.
Hyosung's lineup of Korean motorcycles includes 250cc models priced up to around 270 000 rubles, but we want to draw your attention to other devices that are just right to consider unique offer. For example, the naked GT650P is equipped with a fully mature 647 cc injection engine producing 74 hp at 9000 rpm and 60.9 Nm at 7250 rpm. Fork - inverted type. The cost varies depending on the year of issue and is in the area 380 000 rubles.
Even more elegant is its sports-tourist version GT650R. The motor is the same, and the minimum price is about 400 000 rubles. However, there are also much more available options by shares.
Similar oil painting and Chinese brand CFMoto. It offers 150cc "babies", but we are interested in the naked 650 NK, which "crawls" through the vise of budget restrictions. A device with a two-cylinder 649.3 cc injection engine (61.2 hp at 9000 rpm and 56 Nm at 7000 rpm) will cost 345,000 rubles, so you don't even have to borrow the missing part of the amount.
But that's not all - CFMoto has a sport touring model 650 TK capable of capturing the imagination with its mature exterior. The motor is borrowed from the "stripped" version of the NK, and the price tag starts from 395,000 rubles.
Of course, this is not the whole palette of motorcycles that can be bought for the above amount. Firstly, there are different small SUVs, and secondly, the market is full of midi and maxi scooters. But we will talk about them next time. Follow the publications!
