A couple years ago I came across some interesting sales data on the Italian CB1000R forum, and I've dug out an update: Italian sales Jan-Oct 2015. The CB1000R is still there in the top 100 there... (number 90)
The original posting is at:

The CB1000R sold more than 2000 in 2009, and was #8. Sales declined thereafter (as is expected) and it dipped out of the top 20 by 2012, but still sold more than 500 in Italy. Now that down to less than 200... Yup, sure time for a change!
p.s. Italy is obviously a unique market - HEAVILY into nakeds! This is NOT North America! Nor even the UK...
