According to Mexico's motorcycle industry association SIMM, the country's motorcycle exports grew 76.5% year-over-year to $90.66 million in 2025, while imports reached roughly $649.2 million — 7.2 times the export figure. Bajaj MotoDrive announced a $145 million investment in March 2026 for a new plant with 500,000-unit annual capacity, as production keeps concentrating in Mexico State and Jalisco.

From a market standpoint, the real story isn't the 76.5% export growth — it's that imports are still 7.2 times exports. Mexico hasn't broken out of the 'assemble and sell locally' stage yet. That said, Bajaj MotoDrive's $145 million bet on a 500,000-unit plant looks like a real move toward the next stage.

500k units a year is a big deal, could change touring options across Latin America depending on price

Sadly more units doesn't always mean lower local prices

$145M is a huge investment, feels overly concentrated in Mexico State and Jalisco though

Concentration due to trade agreements isn't exactly a new story

Exports up 76.5% but imports are still 7.2x that, domestic demand still dominates

Sounds great on paper but they're still heavily import-reliant underneath
