I have no need to cancel, I still have my Speed Triple to ride until the Tenere comes in, so I can wait as long as it takes.
I've got to ask-damianxt12 said:I canceled my order.
I do not want to deal with all this problems and waiting times.
I just bought a 2011 BMW GS R 1200 with ASC, ESa, Heated Grips, Tire monitor pressure and luggage.
Picking up on WEd 20th. I will be riding from Chattanooga to Chicago.
Good luck everybody, I wish you the best!!!

This is a mean-spirited thing to say to someone who just bought something.hANNAbONE said:I've got even money on when the final drive goes on that new Beemah...

Mine had a slow leak at the pinion seal early in it's life and I road the bike for 60k miles, but I know people that have been stuck many miles from home having either have to tow the bike home or renting a moving van to go the rest of the way.And the thing that people fail to get about "final drive problems" is that most of the failures are slow seal leaks that are not a huge deal. You might have to top off the final oil to finish your triip, but then after you get home, you take it into the dealer and get a seal replaced for $200 or so (or free if the bike is less than three years old). Not good, but not the smoking heap on the side of the road that ill-informed people on the net would have you believe.
major let down for me , I am trying to deal with it. I think I need to go bike shopping meanwhile. Just sold my DL, wow what a mistake!Jakeboy said:The only other bike out there that I like is the DL 1000, and I sold mine two months ago!
I'm definitely waiting for the S10. I'll just acquire a few more farkles for it to keep my interest level up.
Thankfully the DR 650 will serve me well in the meantime.
Yamaha will get everything sorted out and maybe even improve upon their projections. I'm grateful that they're being up front with their customers regarding the challenges they're facing.
