From a market standpoint, fuel-powered bikes growing 22.3% year-on-year is more than a simple rebound. A 33.4% jump in export value tells me higher-priced units are starting to sell abroad. As India and Southeast Asia push domestic production, Chinese makers are clearly moving to capture share through exports instead.
