The biggest seller worldwide is the 50cc scooter, because poor people can afford it first. The biggest seller in Italy is a 150cc Honda scooter. The biggest seller in the US is probably the various Harleys put together, followed by the foreign copies, especially the Honda 750cc Shadow and the Suzuki 800cc C50. The Honda Goldwing is a big seller for interstate travel by wealthier, older guys. A best of list usually has expensive bikes that few people buy, except in the budget bike category. I see a lot more 600cc sportbikes than 1,000cc sportbikes, and more 1,300cc VTXs instead of 1,800cc VTXs, because of the lower costs.
