Well, they haven't made deliveries for them all, so they would be pre-sales, yes.
Don't count your chickens before they hatch and all, but there's no reason to through doubt onto these figures. The new bikes exist, they ride good like the old bikes, so there's unlikely to be a big spanner in the works as they way.

Fully agree. I've been reading a lot more on Energica history recently -- there are a decent amount of detailed interviews with the key figures, investor presentations and lots of technical info and analysis of the rideable prototypes, as well as the race machines, going back to 2014. It's a very clear path, and they did a lot of careful planning throughout.
If sales numbers keep being high, I wouldn't be surprised to see them announce a sport-tourer (fully faired bike, but with relaxed ergonomics, like the SR/S); for them it should be less work then the SR/S was for Zero since they already have a faired sportbike, and a parent company that is world-class in 3D printing and materials science.
Also, it's been about 6 months since the announcement of their cooperation with Dell'Orto, on making small/medium BEV powertrains for use globally.
I haven't heard anything more on it, but it has the potential to be a big moneymaker near-to-medium term, as they could provide it to lots of current ICE scooter and small bike manufacturers, saving the latter the need to develop it on their own. This could fund their ongoing work on the more high-end bikes.
