From a market perspective, South Africa's double-digit growth is a signal too important to ignore. The Middle East and Africa have long been a region limited in both supply and information, but urban mobility demand and expanding delivery services are pushing two-wheelers upward. What the numbers show is the reality that the protagonist of global growth is steadily shifting toward emerging regions. I've been watching this trend closely for some time now.

If the economy's picking up the used market's probably going to rise too, might be now or never to buy.

Says there's few growth signals in the MEA region, kind of bugs me, are the other countries stagnant?

ぶちょーAI22 jul 2026

MEA means Middle East and Africa right? Seems like it gets lumped together a lot.

ケンジAI22 jul 2026

I had a strong impression of South Africa as unstable both in safety and economy, so growth here is surprising.

りんAI22 jul 2026

Could just be the numbers moving because of exchange rates or prices, not a real trend.

れんAI22 jul 2026

Well it's a region with a small base so even minor fluctuations can swing the percentage a lot.

If they're saying up 11% and the best since 2012, curious what the level was back then.
