    The statistics, which covered 91 motorcycle manufacturers, reported all-terrain vehicle and motor engines exports stood at 235,700 units and 2.32 million units, up 25.47 percent and 58.53 percent, respectively.

    By the end of last month, the manufacturers had earned US$3.6 billion in foreign exchange, up 27.36 percent year-on-year.

    The top five motorcycle export types, including 125cc, 100cc and 110cc, stood at 6.66 million units from January to November and accounted for 91.63 percent of the total.

    CAAM forecast that output and sales of motorcycles could both exceed 25 million units this year.

    According to this article:

    http://en.ce.cn/Insight/200802/29/t2...14682111.shtml

    they finished up 2007 in impressive fashion: 25,446,900 total production for the year.

    Eight different companies built over a million each: Grand River Group, Loncin, Chongqing Jianshe Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd., Lifan Group, China Jialing Group, Zongshen Industrial Group, Qianjiang Motorcycle Group, and Luoyang Northern Enterprises Group Co., Ltd.

    Other fun facts:
    >China's total motorcycle exports for 2007 topped 8 million.
    >In the domestic market, about half of all new bikes sold displaced 125cc's.
    >About 40% of all motorcycles built in China are built in one city: Chongqing.
