Italika

Italika is the leading motorcycle brand and manufacturer in Mexico, with 400,000 motorcycles sold in 2014.[1] In 2010, Italika made up 55% of the motorcycle market;[2] in 2011 it reached a 63% market share, largely owing to low initial cost. Italika sold their one-millionth motorcycle on March 23, 2011, and their two-millionth motorcycle on September 5, 2014.[1] Early Italika motorcycles were designed jointly with Hyosung of South Korea and assembled using parts shipped from South Korea and China. Current models, however, are of Mexican design and origin.[3] Italika maintains a motorcycle factory and parts warehouse in Toluca, Mexico, near Mexico City.
