>Just got back from testing a rip-snorting MBK 50cc scooter in Perugia and
>picked up a copy of Tutto Moto at the airport. It had the Italian sales

>1/ Suzuki Burger 400 - 12,189
>2/ Yamaha TMAX 500 - 11,278
>3/ Honda @ 150 - 11,202
>All of these outsold the top-selling motorcycle which was the Honda Hornet
>600 with 10,343 which in turn was streets ahead of the next bike which was
>the CBR600 with a miserable 6,920.
>4/ Yamaha 250 Majesty - 10,281
>5/ Honda SH 150 (big wheeler) 10,138
>
>The top 5 selling scoots were also miles ahead of No.6 which was the
>Pantheon 150 with only 6,902 and X9250 with 6,662.
>
>The Silver Wing was way down in 12th place with 'only' 5,177 units sold but
>it should be remembered that it was not released until the late Spring, so
>may actually have been selling nearly as many per month as the top 3 once
it
>went on sale. Compare too with the USA where (with no competition to speak
>of) Honda have only imported a conservative 2,500 Silver Wings for 2002.

>Contrast the above figures with the UK where the top selling over-50cc
scoot
>in the UK (for the whole 12 months of 2001, not just Jan-Sept) was the
>Peugeot Speedfight with a pathetic 3,258 followed by the Gilera Runner 125
>with 2943 and the Vespa ET4 with 2553 and the sales of all 3 put together,
>combined with the CBR600's top selling 3877 would still not be as many as
>the Burger sales alone in Italy for the whole year.
