JAKARTA, Aug 5 (Reuters) - Indonesia's domestic motorcycle sales may hit a record 6 million units in 2008 as strong coal and palm oil prices provide a boost to consumer spending, automotive distributor PT Astra International Tbk ASII.JK said on Tuesday.
That all-time high in sales would represent a 28 percent increase from 2007, when 4.7 million units were sold. Annual motorcycle sales previously peaked in 2005 at 5.07 million units. http://www.reuters.com/article/rbssAutoTruckManufacturers/idUSJAK23440720080805?sp=true
