Question for Alta-kawiguy....
Here is the story...
Deposit December 28- $1000
I paid off the balance on April 1st.
I was the first deposit, and first to have bike paid for at my dealer.
He is now telling me he does not know when my bike will arrive, as he does not know what colors he is getting.
1st bikes will arrive at my dealer next week.
I did not realise, nor was informed that color may delay my bike for another 4 weeks or possibly more. 2nd batch is 4 or more weeks out?
Otherwise I would not have chose a color, I would have chosen 1st bike.
1st bike, and less waiting was my intent when I made deposit in December, and pre payed April 1st.
I am not concerned about color any longer, and was undecided between blue or black anyway.
I do not understand what is going through their minds.
Maybe the dealer is trying to push me out of the deal, as my contract is not for full MSRP.
This is getting very frustrating.
It seems pretty unfair to make a pre paying customer who has always had the 1st deposit wait un undeteremined amount of time longer than those who have not yet paid, or were further down the list of deposits?.
I left a message, and am awaiting a reply from the manager/ owner.
Can you help me out Bruce?.....Do the dealers know how many bikes they are getting in 1st batch, and colors do they know colors?
Thanks.
BTW -thankyou for your previous correspondance.

If it helps, every dealer I talked to never knew what color they were getting (and I talked to at least 10 dealers).
A common response was "We've ordered every color but don't know what we're getting first" - 2 weeks ago that statement was prefaced by "We think we might be gettin them at the end of April".
Just hang tight and don't take it personal, you'll get yer beastie.

When the first release of any model is done until the dealer is notified that the bikes are in the distrubution center, they have now ideal what color it is. KMC ships every dealer one bike at just about the same time to be as fair as possible.
A little help for you when i worked in a dealership we trade with another across town if our customer wanted a certain color that we didn't have.
The bikes are arriving now so you may see if you dealer would trade with another to get your desired color now.
Goodluck!
