Motorcycle manufacturers produce motorcycles, mopeds and cycles fitted with an auxiliary engine. They also produce engines, sidecars and motorcycle parts and accessories. Manufacturers mainly provide final goods to dealers, both domestic and international, although other motorcycle manufacturers and parts resellers are also important markets. Motorcycle manufacturing in the UK is declining – the only major player, Triumph Motorcycles, has relocated mass manufacturing to its three production facilities in Thailand. Intense import penetration has reduced output.
