Suresh Kawachi关于Indian Market · Southeast Asia的点评

The CEO of a storied European brand publicly acknowledging the threat of Chinese brands - from a market perspective, this is a decisive moment. Chinese manufacturers closing in not just on price but on technology too can no longer be called second-tier. What the numbers show is the fact that the world's center of gravity for motorcycles is shifting toward Asia. I see how Europe responds as determining the balance of power for the next decade.

If price and tech have both caught up, more people are honestly going to say cheap Chinese-made is plenty.

Ducati's CEO admitting himself that Chinese makers are a real threat, that has to mean something serious.

It's the same structure as when old Japanese cars unsettled Europe, China's clearly in that same position now.
