It's squished it all togeather!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[J B L]

The japs really need to pull their fingers out in the larger cc segment. I suppose they're doing quite well in Asia and India to sustain a good cashflow but the EU offering is poor.

Glad for Trumpet and BMW

edit: missed the Blade first time round. Haven't they run a 0% scheme for quite a while to help them?

Suprised the fireblade is so high.

[Castrol Craig]

Interesting figures.. But genuine question.. Does the fact that the blade is still the top selling sports bike mean that folk have realised that all this electronic rubbish is pointless? And where the desk is the r1 in those figures!

Has someone missed out a decimal point or have they only sold just over half as many as last year?

Mind you, the R6 has lost 58% of its sales..... Not looking good for Yam!

-44.2% less.

[redstu]

Suzuki are not doing too well!

I was thinking that. But then again, is there anything in today's Suzuki offering that you'd chose over something else? gsxr750 maybe but that's in a decreasing sportsbike market.

The public aren't swallowing the price hikes Yamaha put in place. The other Jap big 3 haven't hiked their prices so much so its made Yamaha look a bit silly.They may be good bikes, but if you can get something similar for 80% of the price, that does 99% of what you wanted in the first place,why spend the extra?.

[BigHeartedTone]

Really should add together the Street Triple And R figures - then it would be top non-125.

Weird thing about that is the GSXR1000 is the cheapest of the jap superbikes by quite a margin and it's not even on the list?! I suppose it must be because it's quite an old model now whereas the others are all significantly updated this year or last year.

[podman]

I read teh article in MCN too, Suzuki are down 40& Vs lasy year, as well as the dull range they also rshut a load of shops so that isnt going to help.

The Blade sold nigh on double that the figure of the ZX10 and a few hundred more than the S1000R, rightly so it seems a good grunty motor and chassis is of more interest to road riders than fancy electronics and max torque and HP at 13,000RPM ...

And the fact that the gsxr1000 L10 is a newer model than the current blade. So that hasnt been updated. And yet it's still the best selling sports bike

It's because it still looks like a bloody K1 and we are a shallow bunch.

[Fats25]

Anecdotal evidence here.

I was recently chatting to my friendly dealer, and they are franchised for Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Triumph, Ducati, KTM (possibly others as well).

I casually asked how things were going in sales, and they said they had sold plenty of Triumphs and KTM's and a few Ducatis, but even with the 0% deals on Jap bikes, they had not sold any recently. Seems that the European bikes are really giving the Jap bikes a hard time.

Interesting POV earlier in the thread re the amount of bikes sold in Asia - do you think they are that bothered by sales in UK/Europe?

I didn't think there have been any significant changes since K7 though. The new blade however had major changes around 2008?
