The numbers show roughly 8 million households in Mexico entrusting their livelihood to two wheels. From a market perspective, this isn't a luxury item -- it's living infrastructure itself.

I'd guess a high proportion is used for delivery and work transport, a different picture from the typical Japanese image of motorcycles.

8 million households relying on motorcycles has to be a significant share given Mexico's population size.

Describing it as practical transport for cutting through traffic jams pretty much reflects urban traffic conditions directly.
