Top Selling Scooters in Italy

Italian sales figures for the period Jan > May, 2019.
I was surprised to see that more KYMCO scooters were purchased, than Vespas.
Could it be that in that country "bang for the buck" Levi's wins over, say - Gucci?
As always - big wheel scooters as favored

Kymco -v- Vespa isn't a like for like comparison.
Kymco -v- Piaggio would be though.

The big surprise is the PCX way down the list.

Even the Honda sh 125 mode sold better which I think is better

Mode -v- PCX comes down to styling.
Me, of the two I prefer the PCX, but its good to have choices.
