lol, guys.. The stats include MOPEDS... and these scooters dont have the same brand sales as motorcycles.
taotao is extremely popular as a moped.. its a "brand name" for the cheap chinese bikes. they far outsell yamaha Zumas and Honda Ruckus (and metro), etc. maybe even combined. not sure on that.
Also, the reason SC is on that list is they dont require registration/tags on mopeds... right up until this year. Now that they do, we can expect those numbers to drop a bit for SC as these kids realize they cant just steal peoples scooters and ride them without getting pulled.
