They were the 5th largest motorcycle and scooter seller in the world, but I think they may now have moved into 4th place. Due to a few other recent acquisitions (Kinetic).
They were the #1 exporter of ATV's to Europe last year, beating out Yamaha, Honda, Suzuki and Kawasaki.
They plan to ship 50,000 atv's this year alone.


NO........AC is using the Kymco 250 machine as their DVX250 and a modified version for the utility 250. But Suzuki is the only major owner of AC stock.
