They don't seem to be very rare here. They are receiving about one a month at local dealerships (x5 in my area) based on what I see on the sites and they are normally sold within the month. That's been for the last year at least, that I've been looking into the bike. So I would say it's probably at least 1 per radius mile from me currently. However based on all the ones I see being sold with low miles, I"m anticipating these don't sell nearly as good in the next 2 years, especially if the R9 gets released. I think there are some expectations folks have about buying a 600+CC Supersport motorcycle that this bike isn't meeting. I'm super happy with my R7 but I knew exactly what I was buying and how it was going to ride, handle, and the ergonomics prior to buying it. It fits my needs perfect at the moment for how I ride.
