I spoke with my local dealer today...
I mentioned to him that some bikes are showing up in Phoenix (I live in Lake Havasu City)
He said, "any day now"
I purchased the 04R1 from him last week, so I am not sure about the 10r (I don't want to sell a bike and break up my stable)
Anyways, I told him that I knew there were already Phoenix guys calling around, but I still have FIRST shot at the black, but what OTHER colors was he going to be getting for round two?
He will NOT be getting any more. He ordered 3 10r's, but Kawi cut him down to ONE bike of his color choice because he did not sell enough NINJAS last year-only six.
(Kaw-Yam-KTM dealer, more watercraft and cruisers than sportbikes)
I thought that I would be ready by round 2, but I guess that I need to shit or git off the pot?
I just turned 600 on the Yam and am installing The Graves full Ti exhaust and pc3sub-$1,700 that I spent when it was either the R1 or the 10r. The Yam is a pretty SWEET bike,
but the 10r seems more of a MEAN bike?
Someone flame me!

Hey why don't you "git off the pot"?

I'm sorry, but this limited production "1 per dealer" news is pure hooey! I've seen it time and time again since at least the '98 R1. Yet, every single time, there's been bikes enough for everyone a few months into the distribution. I'm not saying that a model run won't sell out, I'm just saying that it doesn't happen in the first two weeks.
If your dealer isn't getting any more 10's, go find another dealer. There will be plenty of bikes out there for months to come.
This is Kawasaki's biggest opportunity in 10 years. There is no way in hell they are limiting production. These are high margin bikes and they will do another production run if they have to.

Think Kawi learned from the zx12r mess?
Is the 10r restricted?
