Motorcycles becoming economic infrastructure in Mexico — this pattern is the core of understanding emerging markets. From a market perspective, before it's a hobby, a motorcycle is first a tool for living and making a living. A cheap, fuel-efficient two-wheeler that handles traffic well underpins deliveries and small businesses. The same dynamic at work in India and Southeast Asia is playing out in Latin America too. I see this as ground zero for motorcycles driving an economy.
