First 1299 in the states

carnivor32 · Apr 9, 2015

Dealer called me today, my 1299s is finally here. I will probably have the first one in the united states. Picking up this weekend If I can find some free time. Am so Psyched

Really? First in the US? Wow, I thought they had a few shipments out already there and had rolled a few.

Congrats though! Good luck sleeping for the next couple of nights!

Fingers crossed mine is close then. Congrats.

That's great!

DEDuc1299S · Apr 10, 2015

Oh hells yes. Thank you for the heads up. I have been so eagerly waiting. Good to hear things are moving along.

The Avidmoto · Apr 10, 2015

I feel like a 5 year old as Christmas nears! Yay!

Yeah, yeah, yeah... In the meantime, I will be lucky to see mine in two weeks time. You East coast guys...

But for real, congratulations; I am utterly jealous. For the love of God, please post up a nice long review when you ride it... I'm dying over here.

I just got the "ok" from my salesman to do a video log of the entire process from uncrating to the final build. I will also do a thorough review on the street and on the track and will post a Youtube link on the forum!

I am curious did you dealer let you know before hand it was coming or was it just out of the blue? I am trying to find ways to hold onto hope for mid April.

I am totally hoping for mine to be here next week... This is crazy. Like counting the sleeps until Christmas kind of crazy.

I'm kind of worried that I will scream like a little girl in front of the whole dealership staff, when I first see the bike..

I'm trying to find an excuse like allergies or something to justify the tears of joy.

I'm just gonna wear Huggies when I pick mine up.

Nice! Whart made you go with the "S" instead of the base? Out of curiosity?

In my situation, I put a $5000 deposit down and financed the rest. The finance guy quoted me a monthly price over 5 years. I was calling in to check on status and he asked "was that 5 or 6 years that you wanted to go?" I said "make it an "S" and 6 years if you can keep the payment within $15/month".

So basically it just worked. I'll be lucky to get 2 track days a year, so I'm sure that the Ohlins will be a bit of a waste. Gotta love the LEDs and forged rims though.

I have been through quite a few bikes and have been riding for quite some time, but realistically I doubt I'll be in a position to wring this thing out 100% on anything other than a pretty long straight. We'll see how much better my lap times are on this than other bikes along the way.

JDBeretta · Apr 11, 2015

Oh. And resale should be a bit better (as a percentage or ratio) on the "s"

Wrong!

The higher the SRP the higher the writeoff! You'll lose 30% after the first year of ownership. On a 60k$ SL this means 20K$ whereas on a 20k$ base model it means 6k$.

Had a 2012 Base which I bought for 20k$CAN and sold for 16,5k$ 2 years later with 18k km. Picked up a demo '13 for 19,5k$ with 1,5k km for a bit over 3k$ all taxes in.

With the private market here, I've seen the demand curve affect the prices in resale in a similar way to what I had stated. Let's say a $20k base bike sells for $13k and a $25k "s" sells for $16k, although no matter what I'm losing more money, as a percentage I am not.

'Not saying you're incorrect in your statement at all, just another way to justify it for me

1299s wait

With the weather like this it makes waiting so much harder

First 1299 in the states
