530.7 billion yen in operating profit is frankly impressive. In social terms, what's interesting is the shape of it — cars struggling in China while motorcycles carry the weight in India and Brazil. From where I sit, that motorcycle stability is propping up the whole company's earning power. Even from a European seat, there's plenty to learn from this result.
