?The sales of motorcycles in Kenya has been on a decline this year, negating a sharp rise witnessed last year and pointing to a possible plateauing of the industry as the number of motorbikes reaches saturation point.

It is also a probable indicator that investors will now focus on the lucrative trade in spare parts even as the government makes attempts to streamline the sector that has become a critical means of transport and a key source of livelihood for many.
