I’m also surprised Germany doesn’t show up on that list. I would imagine that BMW would outsell Ducati worldwide. I’ve never owned a BMW but if I were to get another bike it would be one of their RT’s. It would probably outlast me and be my last bike.
Where did your motorcycle come from ?

The small displacement BMWs are made offshore and likely make up a huge majority of their sales numbers.
The list is where things are made, not necessarily where they are sold.
India produced something like 24 million machines last year mostly for domestic consumption but that is slowly changing.

All my Moto Guzzi where built in Italy.
They just built a new factory for the next 100 years.

Next they can update the pre-war bathroom in the museum.
Was disappointed to find my Triumph Bonneville T120 was made anywhere outside of the UK. For some reason I thought, being the flagship Bonneville it would be domestic. Guess not / Thailand.
My Vespa GTS250i was made in Italy
My BMW G650GS was final assembly'd in Germany, while the previous version had the Austrian Rotax engine, my year had the made in China Loncin remake of it.
My other BMW, same.
My KYMCO Venox was made in Taiwan, but some of their cheaper models are made in China.
I also have an Indian made Triumph Speed 400 made in India, and a Honda CBR300R made in Thailand in the garage, both just for making content on when I feel better.

Does this include e-bikes? Personally, I don’t classify those food delivery hornets as the same as motorcycles (not the expensive, legit, licensed and insured e-bikes, the cheap, crappy fire starting ones plaguing every road in the city).
Surprised, not surprised to see that, but also how small Japans share is. Those top producers are about volume, not necessarily quality or desirability. Lived in Asia and owned bikes there. There’s a reason they cost me less than a $1,000. I’d never ride one here. Same with India. Not every bike coming out of there is an Enfield…

Not that it’s an hill to die on for me but this chart is garbage. Honda alone sold 9.9 MM bikes in the first half of 2025 alone.
This chart puts the whole country at less than 5 MM.
