As of the end of November, BMW Motorrad had shipped 100,054 motorcycles worldwide, an increase of 2,007 on the same period last year, with 6,112 bikes being delivered last month – a 3.9% increase on November 2010.

The figures put BMW on course to deliver 103,000 more vehicles than ever before in its nearly 90-year history.

Husqvarna Motorcycles, a division of BMW, delivered 7,956 motorcycles in the first eleven months of 2011 (prev. yr. 10,266 / -22.5%). November accounted for 1,181 deliveries (prev. yr. 1,650 / -28.4%).

Overall BMW group sales were up 14.5% on the previous year, thanks largely to a 22.4% increase in sales of its MINI division.
