Review: Manufactures attempting to grab and/or steal market share will lead to a mix of erratic marketing campaigns. Honda, Yamaha, and Suzuki's primary task should not be to compete on price, but to produce what China consumers are buying...fair priced, extraordinary features that will committ consumers to post the biggest marketing move of all...work of mouth.

Review: The vast majority of industries, with high quality and professional skills from different countries, are on their way to gaining enormous penetration of marketshare in China. But what seemed to have so much potential and prosperity in this emerging country has become more difficult than they expected. That's largely because the Chinese are still trying to figure out what intellectual property is, the positive effects of high-end, high-quality vehicles can save their lives against accidents, and the significance of establishing a legal, fair society by not just using laws. They would be well-educated, well-disciplined, and well-cultivated in the following years. After the transformation, China will emerge fulfil expectations as a prospective market and worthy of businessmen's investments.

Review: Stealing marketshare always takes time. Low price is appreciated by most of the Chinese who only regard motorcycles as "transportation" rather than "moving property." For global motorbike makers, such as Honda and Yamaha, I would say that the first lesson is to educate customers on the difference between them and local makers. After all, the most valuable asset for these companies is their brands while the low-cost production is never their strength. In addition, customers' perception toward motorcycles could be changed by the marketing effort and product package.
