This research applies time series forecasting model by Least Square method to estimate the rate of motorcycle sales period of one month to come.

System testing performed four times, each composition test using different amounts of training data. Then it will be compared with the actual sales data to determine the best forecasting results and gain the smallest value forecasting error with Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD). Based on the results of system testing showed that the amount of data used affects the forecast error (MAD). The best forecast error found in the third test using 3 months training data which has MAD value at 5.055. In the testing of margin error obtained value of MAPE (Mean Absolute Percentage Error) of the test data is good enough for 5%.
