The Wait

[Gen2S10]

For those of you that have had to wait on an ordered Super 10 how long was your wait?

It has been 2 weeks today and I really want it to get here!! How much longer?!?!?!

*Heavy Sigh*

Oh well, I rode the Vmax to work today so life is still OK.

I only had to wait 11 months to get mine, as did many others that ordered ours in the first shipment of 2012's under the Preorder Deposit Program.

I ordered my 2014 Standard Blue model the first week Yamaha USA was accepting orders. Original ship date was quoted as being mid-June, told my dealer that was unacceptable so they called Yamaha corporate and said they were going to lose a sale if it wasn't delivered sooner, 3 weeks later it has arrived and I pick it up this Saturday. Might check and see if your dealer can light a fire under corporate to get it to you....

Waiting with a VMax? Sorry, the sympathy is muted.
However, enjoy the anticipation.

Yea, might be tough to get sympathy for waiting. Lots of waiting has taken place here. I found this forum during "The Big Wait".

It changed everything in my 2-wheel world too.

I am familiar with the longer wait. I had to wait 9 months to get my Vmax after paying the $1K deposit. Back in '09.

I wasn't looking for sympathy, and perhaps should have been more specific to wait time on a 2014 S10ES.

The Vmax certainly makes the wait bearable. That and a 12 month riding season here in the desert Southwest.

Thanks!

Per the Yamaha website:
$16,190 (Matte Gray/Matte Black) Available from May 2014

So, any sooner is just icing on the cake. I didn't have to wait as long as some but I think it was 6 months.

Gen2S10, You gotta know I was just funnin ya. It's about all I do around here.
The forum is RARELY where I spend my serious moments of the day.

 

[Gen2S10]

Hey No sweat! I did not take anything that was said personally. It's all good. 8)

I think I will drop by the Stealership this afternoon to see if anything is happening. All of the accessories that I ordered for it came in in just 3 days. Now just to put a bike under them.

Some kinds of "pain" or good.
(Example: missing your kids or wife when they are away.)
But we forget to actually enjoy the pain. We shouldn't though. It is what reveals we are like no other creature.

Hope you can't sleep at night! Visions of your new Tenere torturing you with your eyes closed. Lol

 

[Salmon Sam]

All in fun. You mean there are people on this forum that are serious?

Actually, if there is one other bike that I would want as a toy, it would be the VMax. Demoed them a couple of times. Wow.
Of course I could get one, but then I would be minus one wife. :'(

You're preaching to the choir here, old son … ::025:: Those of us with the "Founding Member" designation (first year of Forum existence) pretty well all had to wait several months. There there was the earthquake in Japan that delayed stuff even more. It was BRUTAL, I tell you … BRUTAL. But just a faded memory now. Nothing I can do to speed things up for you. You could go into a self-induced coma or something like that, but that's probably not for the best. ::014::


Good luck. Download lots of pics. It'll happen. R ::020::

yup, still have the "Die Hard" sticker and remember the "First North American Super Tenere Gathering" got the stickers to prove it. And you are right Rem the wait was BRUTAL....

Congrats on the new bike (that's coming)...and on the one in the barn now...woohooo! 'Mr. Max' is a great bike too. BTW...my dealer here in Roswell JUST got a '14 in...not yet taken...just sayin'... ::024::

So the dealership salesdork calls me today. I was in the car on the way to Lowes to get something. The conversation went something like this: dork - "How are you doing today." Me - "I am fine and will be better if you are calling to tell me my Super Tenere is here." dork - "Oh no it isn't here yet. I do not know when it will get here. I just was checking in to let you know we hadn't forgotten about you." naturally this made me really angry. Me (in an elevated volume of speaking) - "Do not call me again to ask how I am unless my motorcycle is sitting in your shop! I cannot believe for one second that you do not know how or cannot trace an order!" dork - "I will get with the sales manager and see if there is a way to track your motorcycle." Me - "You do that!" *click*

Now, a few hours later, I am still baffled about this phone call. Why did he think it was necessary to call me to say they had not forgotten me? I would hope that since I gave them several thousand dollars to order a new motorcycle that they would not forget me. I have only lived in the US again for less than 2 years after nearly 25 years in Europe. Is this what customer service is now? "Hi, I just called to tell you that your order still isn't here"

SHEESH! ::009:: ::010:: ::010::

Lee... no reason to wind your clock too tight. You can bet anything told to you by a salesperson is not the complete truth. Why did you give them thousands of dollars? $500 should have been sufficient for a commitment. Also... hope you did not buy YES fro your dealer. Most likely there are other dealer that will sell you YES for much less. If you did pay for YES, find the lesser price and have them match that price. Worked for me with my 2012. Also establish (with the dealership owner) a 20% or more discount for any OEM parts you need to purchase.
