Motorcycle in Mauritius

Motorcycle in Mauritius

Generally, the motorization of developing countries advances by the following order.

(1) Bicycle......(2) Motorcycle ......(3) Car

The motorization in Mauritius has already approached the entrance to "Car", like the 1960s (30s-40s of the Showa era) in Japan.

However, the motorcycle is still an important way of transportation for many people.

Most motorcycles are displacement volume less than 125cc.

There are extremely few motorcycles of displacement volume more than 250cc, and they are possessions of the hobbies not life utilization.

About half of the motorcycle in Mauritius is SUZUKI and HAOJUE.

However, because all the motorcycles of SUZUKI in Mauritius are produced under license in a factory of Chinese HAOJUE, it may be quite said that half of the motorcycle is made in HAOJYUE.

Other than SUZUKI and HAOJUE, HONDA and YAMAHA are seen a lot, too.
