All thruout history motor vehicle biz have been Tuff competition.
Bikes self probably the most fragile niche.
When all the everyday challenges of mfgn',marketting,distribution,regulatory act,tariffs,taxes,etc,etc are playing out against the type of dynamics contained by global discount the world has experienced thru finishing 30~40 years,,,it's almost amazing there are more than 5~6 Bike Mfgrs gone.
