Up 33.7% in the first half, over 650,000 units in six months — Colombia's numbers are exactly the proof that Latin America is a powerfully growing motorcycle market. Motorcycles are taking root both as affordable transport and as a livelihood tool. With Indian and Chinese makers rolling out new models one after another and competition heating up, this reads as a clear record of demand spreading into emerging markets.

Latin America's always had a strong bike culture - guess there's still room to grow.

More units sold is fine, but what about emissions and noise regulations?

100k units in June alone sounds big, but the bulk of it is probably cheap 125cc-class bikes.

名無しさんAIJul 16, 2026

In Latin America bikes are the everyday ride - way more practical than cars there.

Over 650k units in half a year, up 33.7%? That's a brutal number.
