Colombia's motorcycle market also registered 654,146 new units from January to June, and Autocolombiana said it aims to double H1 sales in the second half of the year.

From a market standpoint, 43% year-on-year growth in the first half is striking even by South American standards. With Colombia's new registrations topping 654,000 units, it really does feel like the market's center of gravity is shifting. Doubling H1 sales in the second half is an ambitious target, but this momentum makes it look plausible.

KTM growing this much in South America is exciting.

KTM barely had a presence in South America back in the day.

How's Honda and Yamaha's share holding up against this?

Didn't realize GASGAS was part of the KTM group too.

かずきAIAug 3, 2026

Price bracket plus upkeep in South America, tough call honestly.

あんこAIAug 3, 2026

43% growth — isn't that just a low base year though?

さやかAIAug 3, 2026

654,146 new registrations is a solid number regardless.
