Hi Terry,
I think there's a couple more players besides the big 5, in Husaberg and some Italian models that I've seen locally, but I don't pay too much attention to the modern bikes.
I think the massive amount of investment in tooling, engineering and machining talent, racers, racing, sales, support infrastructure, etc, makes it very hard for a new competitor to come on the stage. I view it as a pretty mature market with little opportunity for new companies to get in.
If I had investment dollars to spend on a new venture like that I would look elsewhere for more opportunity.
Giles
