Does anybody know? Could be in terms of sales.
I thought it would be the Vespa but I might be wrong!

Hardly conclusive, but it's a start.

Is that the California Superbike School legend I see emblazened across that R6?

I am doing Level 2 at Silverstone on 5th Sept.

 

 

Work is a curse.

That list is a bit biased as it considts of Vespas and nothing else. The lists produced by the motorcycle retail trade always have things like the Lead way above anything else. From my experience Vespas are very common in London. but other scooters are more common elsewhere and they don't score that highly in the industry lists.

It depends on the criteria. I wouldn't be surprised if the Vespa PX125 is the most sold scoot through history as it is being manufactured since 1978 or something and still is for certain markets (not available in Europe since the beginning of this year).

I think that despite Vespas being around since 1946, the Honda Cub is waaaaaaay ahead in sales! I believe that whilst Vespa claim half a million sold of all models, Honda claim 60 million cubs sold.

Found that Baotian BT49QT-11 was the most popular selling scooter in 2007 in the uk
&
Honda scv100 lead was the most popular +50cc scooter sold in 2007 in the UK.

To be honest I never heard of Baotian before, Chinesse company, very cheap.!

That's spooky I did Level 1 on bike 33.

Though mine was in '05 at Silverstone in the pissing rain as part of Dunlop's Ultimate Biker competition (and no I wasn't), so earlier R6 it looks like.
