Italika is the leading motorcycle brand and manufacturer in Mexico, with 200,000 motorcycles sold each year. In 2010, Italika made up 55% of the motorcycle market; in 2011 it reached a 63% market share, largely owing to low initial cost. Italika sold their one-millionth motorcycle on March 23, 2011. Early Italika motorcycles were designed jointly with Hyosung of South Korean and assembled using parts shipped from South Korea and China. All current models, however, are of Mexican design and origin[citation needed]. Italika maintains a motorcycle factory and parts warehouse in Toluca, Mexico, near Mexico City.
