The 13th China International Motorcycle Trade Exhibition (CIMAMotor 2014) was held in the National Expo Center, Chongqing municipality, from November 14-17.

CIMAMotor has been held annually since 2002, and has become the world's largest and the most important event for commuter motorcycles after 12 years of continuous development. The output and sales of Chinese motorcycles, accounting for over 50 percent of the world, has led the world for many consecutive years.

The export of motorcycles has also led the world for many consecutive years. In China, over 99 percent of motorcycles are used for commuting. Exported motorcycles mainly go to third world countries.
