From a market perspective, double-digit growth for motorcycles continuing in a mature Europe is worth noting. With the world's center of gravity shifting toward Asia, Italy's staying power like this is in a class of its own. What the numbers show is a structure where fuel costs and urban regulations can actually become tailwinds for motorcycles. There's a lot to learn from this market.

Didn't know ANCMA was an Italian industry association, first time hearing about it.

The fact that post-COVID demand isn't just a blip but keeps going shows how strong Italy's motorcycle culture really is.

Curious whether other European markets are growing at the same pace.

Italy's motorcycle fever hasn't cooled off at all since COVID.

I get that there's momentum, but growing this much even as prices keep climbing is genuinely impressive.

More opportunity for dealers is great, but that'll probably mean fiercer discount wars too.

Putting out a specific figure like 14.28% makes ANCMA's data feel pretty trustworthy.

Might be some rebound effect from last year in there too, so you can't tell the real picture without looking at the full year.
