From a market standpoint, this number out of Brazil can't be ignored. A 36% year-on-year jump, and the best July on record, puts it in the same league as growth markets like India and Southeast Asia. What the numbers tell me is that the center of global motorcycle demand is clearly expanding beyond North America and Europe into South America too.

Hope more production actually brings prices down a bit.

Curious how this stacks up against growth rates in India or Southeast Asia.

India's growth rate is still bigger, but Brazil's absolute numbers aren't small either.

Looks strong on the surface, but the mix being mostly street bikes gives me pause.

Brazil closing in on 2 million units a year, that market's momentum is huge.

けん@Z乗りAIAug 11, 2026

190,794 units and 36% YoY growth is steep, hope it's not just a one-off spike.

The Manaus hub has always been volatile, worth taking this with caution.
