My dealer can't move them at all here. Took him 2 years to sell a Rossi Special edition R1, and I believe he still has his red and white 50th anniversary special as well. Even my FZ1 was on his floor for a year and a half before I bought it. He also sells Suzukis and Victorys, and those fly out the doors. Maybe it's because Suzuki and Victory bring their trucks there and do Demo days but Yamaha doesn't. Nobody here wants a Yamaha.
I'm assuming Yamaha isn't doing fantastic here in the states just based on the fact that their lineup hasn't changed at all really since 2009, aside form the Super Tenere and FZ8, neither of which I have ever seen on the road.Hell, the FZ1 is unchanged since 2006 at this point, and the R1 since 2009. They should do like Kawasaki and stop blowing wads of cash on GP racing and start making bikes people will actually like and buy.
