Miami, FL (August 6, 2007) – UM (United Motors), the first full line powersports manufacturer in almost 30 years, is pleased to announce significant growth in the U.S. market for the first half of 2007.

Compared to the period of January-June 2006, UM has seen a 30 percent increase in wholesale sales and a 20 percent increase in retail sales during 2007.

All sport and standard bikes will now come standard with black powder coated frames, swingarms, and front suspension components offering a sleek and powerful look. 2008 will also see an exciting new ATV line including two radical side by side two seaters.
