Just received word from my dealer (Bay Area Yamaha in Coos Bay Oregon) that letters have gone out from Yamaha stating that delivery has been delayed until at least 1 Nov due to unforeseen problems with suppliers. Ron received a 3 page letter from Yamaha USA in Cypress, CA a few minutes ago.
I don't have a copy in hand but I should receive it in the next day or two. I believe everyone who has placed a order will get the letter. There is also a claim form to receive back your $500 if you no longer want the bike.
I am not surprised with the supplier issue after the devastation that has taken place in Japan. I will wait for my bike. My dealer said the other 5 folks who have XT1200's on order from him have told him the same.
I believe the bike is worth waiting for!
