he hasnt read anything on the honda computer yet far as a delay but they have 18 units coming tomorow and its not listed on the sheet but he also said that i could come by its self in a couple of weeks. also if honda found any flaws while building the quads they would shut down the line and redo all of them

Your dealer isn't getting them tomorrow and he isn't getting 18 of them tomorrow either. Each dealer is ONLY getting 1 the first day of release. Then they will trickle in a little at a time over the next few months starting on Dec. 31st.

i am sorry to be wishful thinking here,, but i dont think there just going to trickle a few out the next 2 or three months.... with the next race season coming up soon i think they are gonna start distributing the hell out of them, as soon as they release them especially with the competition in sales for the yfz... cause they wont sale as much if they dont get them out before the race season...(everyone will buy the yami"s)

but thats just my opinion and it would be a smart decision on hondas part if they get them out as quickly as possible as soon as they release them..

well that is the way it is going to work. Everyone gets one in Dec. then maybe one in Jan or they might give an amount based on the shops sales of the 400EX from the prior year in either Jan or Feb but every dealer only gets ONE in Dec.

i have to disagree with u... i talked to my dealer earlier today... and they said that there could be as many as three or for arrive before the end of dec... and also everyone has bought the yamaha but if honda dont get it distributed well before the season then there is going to be a lot more to buy the yamaha,,, i am waiting and getting the r either way.. but it sounds like common since that they will get it out and not like 1 a month apart and base it on the sale of the ex the year before that sounds rediculas...

especially when there are already late on the release of it anyways...usually honda has there newer models out about 6 months ago... because if they dont distribute pretty quick then hell u might as well wait for a 05 to come out in about 6 or 7 more months..

honestly though my dealer told me that they get new ones in about every week... and he said the was supposed to shipp them on the 8th,,,, he has his orders but like everyone says it dont say wich ones.... an i live in kentucky wich is bordering virgina.. so it is possible for me to get mine real soon... man i cant wait though...

ITS GETTIN CLOSE:D

OK well I'll tell you what. You let us all know when it shows up. If you get yours sooner then great but they aint comming out until the 31st. I work at the dealer. In the past they release new modles to dealers based off similar model sales for the year before. It is just the way they do things. That is the best way for them to gauge how many units each dealer will sell. I'm not sure if they are doing the same with the 450R but I have been told they might be doing it that way. Also each dealer will only get one on the release date. That is it. The next to follow in on Jan 8th unless they push that back too.

Just talked to the dealer that we are getting one from and they called the rep and said that they won't be shipped until dec 31 but in all actuality they probably won't ship until Jan 2nd or 5th due to the Holiday :(
