From a market perspective, this European growth is a sign that global two-wheeler demand remains solid on a fundamental level. It's a different kind of story from the volume expansion happening in India and Southeast Asia — this is a reappraisal happening within a mature market. What the numbers show is that different growth engines are turning simultaneously, region by region.

More registrations will probably push used bike prices too.

Jealous of Europe's momentum, wish Japan grew this much too.

If Germany's leading the growth, curious if the electric segment's up too.

Growth sounds nice but wasn't last year just really weak to begin with.

Fair point, but it does feel like actual demand is coming back too.

16.8% is a pretty big jump, the key part is all 5 markets grew.
