Dan Tye, Editor, Bike Trader said: "Adventure bikes might be selling well in dealer showrooms but based on the searches we've seen in 2012, there is still a large appetite for sportsbikes as the top four searches were dominated by these types of machine. It's not surprising that the BMW R1200 is in the top ten. Not only is it one of the best-selling new bikes, many of our visitors are keen to get their hands on a used one, at a lower price."
