Which drive systems people look up, per country
This is not market share. It is what riders look up here when their bike shows a fault, which is a different thing and says so on the tin.

How this is measured and what it is not
Every time somebody opens an error-code page, we count one lookup for that drive system and the country the request came from. No cookies, no identifiers, nothing about the person is stored.
A country appears here only once it passes 300 lookups, so a handful of visits can never become a claim.
This over-represents systems that break often and systems whose owners read one of our six languages. A system that never fails is invisible here, however many are sold. Published market-share figures come from paid industry reports and are estimates too; ours at least states its method.
