I wouldn't be surprised even if Mexico buys more motorcycles per year than the USA.

Motorcycles are a small niche in the USA, only about 1% of the population rides motorcycles and we only buy about 500,000 motorcycles per year. About 1/4 of those of off-road and scooter sales are less than 75,000 per year.
Not sure about the present-day motorcycle sales volume in Brazil, but it has surpassed the 1-million figure a few times since 2002 or 2003, even though it's been more concentrated in smaller displacements. In some years, the Honda CG 125 alone exceeded in Brazil the total U.S. motorcycle sales volume (much like the Ford F-150 has exceeded in the U.S. the total car sales volume of some countries).
