Outside the North American market, there are tons of motorcycle manufacturers a lot of us have probably never heard of. Unsurprisingly, the needs and preferences of motorcyclists from different corners of the globe varies quite a bit. In the US, big bikes with lots of power and torque are the best when it comes to covering great distances on the freeways.
In other, more congested regions, small-displacement bikes are the key. Regions like Europe, Asia, and South America rely on small-displacement bikes for the mobility of their citizens, as such, taking a look at the bikes and manufacturers in those regions is like having a glimpse at a whole new world – at least, when it comes to motorcycles.
