Actually Busa sales in the year before (08) WERE number one in that category, but dropped by 35% in 09. Sales in 08 were 538, spiked up by the Gen11, and the run out sales on Gen1s, then dropped back to 347 last year.

07: 366
08: 538
09: 347
10: ?

The pre big bang Yammy was runout at cheap prices, which helped the R1 in 09 as well.

Those figures are for bikes sold during each calendar year, not necessarily that year build bike, if that makes sense.

In the 1st category, why did they split the 2x bandit 1250's?? Surely they are almost the same bike? together they are almost level peggin the busa.

Those figures are produced by the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industry.

There's always a few dodgy grouping/classifications etc.

Like putting the Hyosung GT650R in Supersports or Ducati Hypermotard figures with DRZ400Sm etc.

Note the Adventure Touring comments re the DR650.
