Guys this "I put my deposit down on X date" doesnt mean much...why? There are a few reasons/scenarios.
1. what region you're located ~US, Europe, Canada, Asia...and the Aussies
2. the size of your dealership, more importantly how many orders YOUR dealer placed.
to start lets clear this up yet again, doesnt matter if you put your deposit down last yr this time or 1st of this yr. Dealers couldnt place orders until 1/12/12.
Obviously Europian dealers are gettin their bikes first, then it seems the US/ Canada and guys down under soon to follow...
with that said...
1st scenario~ say we're in the US for eg. guy put his $ down june 2011 and his dealer didnt get to place his order until 1/13/12 the 2nd day Ducati opened it. Another guy at different dealer puts his money down on 1st day Ducati allowed orders place...guess whos gettin their bike first
2nd scenario~ THIS ONE EVEN BETTER ...(2 guys in the same state) 2 dealer in the same state, ones got 40 bikes reserved the other 8....the guy at the dealer with the least amount on the waiting list may get his bike way before the other dealer regardless of when his order was placed
I know this to be true because I have 3 dealers within my reach, ones got 40 bikes coming the other less than 20. My dealer, I dont know or care...Im #2 in line for the base lol. My point is there's a lot of variable to consider, so a guy across state may get his bike before you tho orders may have been places same time.
I have a base 1199 coming and tho the S came out first, though you ordered an S I may still get my bike before you if Ss aren't available.
...just bored I guess and putting my thoughts down haha

Peter Pan,
Thibault has something planned for this friday, I'm planning to attend. You think you'll be there
1. Deposit on 17 Dec 2011
2. 1199 S Tricolore
3. Been told 2nd week in May...maybe...(Hawaii and what not)
Talked to a salesperson yesterday, they expected to receive your bike last week but didn't.
DNA assured them they'd have it for Friday though.
so the tri is yours - nice
Base model, bummer for the wait!
