If registrations are falling, I'd like to see more push toward electric.

Honda, Yamaha, BMW always on top — feels like nothing ever changes.

I always pictured France as big on bike commuting — is that actually true?

A 3.17% drop actually looks like a fairly minor dent, numbers-wise.

Compared with the 2020 peak, it's still a pretty low level overall.
