Many motorbikes have been made over the years since the Daimler Reitwagen was invented in 1885, and everyone has their own particular favourites. Although you can rank \u2018best-selling\u2019 in all sorts of ways, we\u2019ve pulled together five of the top bikes that we think come into this category and that you should certainly know more about.<\/p>\n

Honda Super Cub <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Undeniably, the first bike that comes to mind when talking about the best sellers is the Honda Super Cub. This little bike had simple clutch-free workings and a step through construction \u2013 making it incredibly accessible and, therefore, hugely popular around the world. It was featured in songs and movies and has even appeared in Manga. It first came out in 1962 and sold 100 million units globally by 2017. In comparison, VW Beetles were the most produced car in history at 21.5 million units.<\/p>\n

Honda CB750 <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Hondas are one of the best-selling brands around the world, so it makes sense that there\u2019s more than one on this list. They\u2019re known to be reliable, are of good value to run, and still provide power and agility when needed. The Honda CB750 is an exceptional bike amongst exceptional bikes. Some think that this started the era of modern superbikes, setting new standards in technology and performance. It also quickly became a cultural icon and drove other brands to innovate and improve their models.<\/p>\n

Kawasaki Ninja Series <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Other brands struggle to compete with Honda in terms of numbers, but the Ninja series as a whole deserves to be on this list. They are renowned for their cutting-edge technology, state-of-the-art looks, and pin-precision performance. They first came on the market in 1984 and have become well-known for racing excellence. The series, as a whole, caters to a range of riders from beginner riders to experienced racers \u2013 there\u2019s something for everyone, and they all get the Ninja quality. This is why the series has sold millions of units around the world over the years and remains incredibly popular for many.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Yamaha YZF-R125<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This lightweight sportsbike is perfect for beginner riders as it has good tech and is easy to ride. However, it also has standout appeal for more experienced riders. The bike was heavily influenced by Yamaha\u2019s great sporting bikes, so the design doesn\u2019t look \u2018beginner\u2019, and the power the bike can provide is enough to make it fun even for those used to bigger bikes. This wide appeal and longevity to a beginner bike mean that it has remained popular with many motorbike riders and is a solidly recommended first bike, leading to high sales. To mention another Honda, the CB125F is a strong competitor to this bike and sells millions around the world.<\/p>\n

Suzuki GSX-R series <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Another series, rather than choosing a particular model out of a great lineup, which has been leading the way in performance and reliability. The series is known for its lightweight but extremely powerful engines combined with leading technology and has become a firm favourite among sportsbikers.<\/p>\n
