An ad in a magazine says December? Yet the site says January?

from what i was told buy a dealer every dealership is getting one in december, 2003 and 1 in march of 2004. then the 05 model will be out during the summer and avalibility will be back to normal. i wonder if there will be some changes made between the first 04 models and the 05 models. sure is a big gap between the two. maybe taking a chance if you buy the first model, don'y know just curious.

I hope December is right, November would be even better. I can't see dealers only getting one in Dec. and one in March, it doesn't make much sense.

Mine is telling me that they usually come in bunches about every 2 weeks. They said they will probably get them in groups of 2-6.

I highly boubt the 1 in one month and then 1 in the next month.

It would be nice to see them arrive in November. Ive got number 5 at my local Honda Dealer. :blah:

Honda's web site says January, but I know they usually try to get them in a little early, so probably the end of December. I talked to a local Honda dealer here, he said nobody has money down on one yet here.

Not too sure how Honda goes about releasing the bikes, but my sales manager told me that the # of 450's allocated to dealers was dependent on how many 400EX's they sold the year previous. Not positive that it's true or not, all I really know is that we're getting one in December, 2 in January, and 2 in February. I'm 2nd on the list:cool: After Feb. I don't know how often they'll show up...

That's how it usually works. They base it off of your sales. I know when the YFZ came out, one dealer got 19 the first month and another dealer only got 6 that month and it was based off of their sales volume.

I thought that dealers worked in this way, makes sense but you always get smoke and mirrors from alot of them. I had a guy tell me that the yfz was a limited release and that he could get me one for 8000 dollars!!!!!!!!!!! I was like ok yeah you get me one for 8000k and I will just take it up the ***** while your at it. found out later from a guy that i bought my tires from that someone bought the bike for 10000 out the door!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!. The yfz is a good bike and all but it is not worth anywear near that price.:huh

That makes the most sence. I know that the west coast had some yzf 450's several weeks before a lot of the east coast. Im hoping the TRX450 is the same way.

I said i am #5 on the list at my Honda dealer, but its a big Honda dealer. They said they usually get shipments of 8, Hopefully mine will be in the first shipment. They said the second shipment usually comes 2 weeks later for the same bike. They get a shipment every week.

In response to airtime's post "from what i was told buy a dealer every dealership is getting one in december, 2003 and 1 in march of 2004."

That is what our dealer told my fiance. He just put $$ down on it Saturday. Soon to be in our garage...:D
