In Peru, motorcycles are a widely used form of transportation and I'd go as far to say that few Peruvians use their motorcycle for recreation.
In Peru, most motorcycles are simple single cylinder bikes that are under 200cc's. In North America, that's a beginners motorcycle. We consider 650's and smaller to be, well, small. In Peru our Honda Falcon 400's were considered huge and fast. If you see a larger motorcycle on the road, it's either part of a tour or the owner is riding through South America and is from North America or Europe.
In Peru you can buy a Yamaha FZ16. All 160cc's worth.
While you will see a few Yamaha and Honda motorcycles on the road, most of the motorcycles in Peru are brands that are unknown in North America.
A Wanxin 250.
Finally, there is one motorcycle available in Peru that I would love to see come to North America. The Yamaha Tenere XT660.
Keep dreaming and make sure you live, and ride, your dream.
