Whilst bike sales did drop last year they didn’t drop as much as car sales overall. Listed below are the Top Ten Selling Bikes in the UK for 2008.
The figures in brackets are they actual numbers sold. 1st Class Rider Training is pleased to see that we helped the Yamaha YBR 125 into Second Place, as we bought two for our studetnts to use, and very popular they have proved to be.
Maybe no surprises with the number 1 best seller, as it has appeared well up at the top of the list many times since it’s launch.
Here’s the List.
1 Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade. (2156)
I’ve seen a few Fireblades…… but never from behind!!!
2 Yamaha YBR 125 (1866)
3 Yamaha YZF R125 (1813)
4 Suzuki GSX R1000 (1754)
