The LA Times – Scooter sales trump motorcycle sales

Thursday, May 22, 2008

(Nice video with one tiny correction, Kymco People is Taiwan not Korea.) Besides some interesting stats on scooter sales this piece from the LAT compares what is probably the most popular class in the USA right now, the 125-150cc displacement.
