Not sure yet, but sales seem to be doing ok for the price. It wont sell as hot as the low priced fz-07 but we'll see how hot a seller it is this spring. I know my local dealer sold all of his six models in three weeks and is waiting for more to arrive.

When I got mine back in September, I asked the salesperson at the dealer if the FZ-10 were selling well and he said they had sold about 8 up till then. It had only been out for about 3 months at that point so I would say they are selling steadily. They definitely won't be selling like hot cakes because of the price but for how much it costs, I think its doing well in sales.

I think it really depends on the area. Here in the Midwest it won't take off till spring. Only a few nutters like me willing to buy one in October knowing that I am going to be winterizing it this week already. LOL

Time of year, location, and competition in the area are what will drive prices and sales.

Judging by the activity I see in the FZ10 Forum and others, I think the sales are slow for the FZ10.
I know that Forum activity is not good scientific method of measuring success for a model.
Having the intense exposure in all Motorcycle Magazines and test rides reviews on online magazines and YouTube, and I still don't see them flying out the door.
The bike went on sale June/July and have seen none on the road yet in Texas, where you can ride till late December.
I think the high price, not so great color options and odd Origami design in my opinion is to blame, but it's still early.
I will get one, but will wait for a different color scheme because the AC Carrier fan cage color gray is hideous and the black is so played out.

Just like people say motovlogging on YouTube is dead this time of year, March is when it all picks up. |

Just like people say motovlogging on YouTube is dead this time of year, March is when it all picks up. The bike is brand new and most dealers sold out right away. My dealer is on back order until April. So I'd say that sales are going very very well. But only so many people have an fz10, the bike came out just a few months ago and then winter came. Riding and bike buying season is over. For as new as this bike is, this forum is doing great. A lot of bike forums die off in the winter. The way you can help me keep this forum going and interesting is by sharing threads from here on social media. Click actions>share thread> and then choose your favorite social media. It will take you to the login page and then load a link to the thread in your social media post. There are more fz10 owners out there, we just need to let them know we are here. I do this 3-4 times per week. I appreciate any help with this that you guys may have time to do! |

They are definitely a niche market type of bike. Some would say it's not a true super naked with likes of the tuono, v4 streetfighter, s1000r, etc. I say it's a hell of a lot of fun but what a gas hog! |
