My dealer, who has my deposit, looks like he’s reneging on my delivery in April. I won’t bore members with the excuses given but, if he can’t get me one of the bikes currently unsold in the States and, with Ducati production now shut down, it doesn’t look promising. I’ve given him 5 extra days to locate me a SF 4S and then I will use my right to cancel to solicit the deposit refunded. If any members know of any US dealer (CONUS) with a bike please drop me a pm. If you know the dealer let them know that its a cash sale. If I haven’t found a bike by next Wednesday (04/22) I will buy a 2020 MV Agusta Brutale 1000 RR that I have already sourced. Sad. I really wanted the SF V4 S
 
Sounds like a "first world problem". They're all sold essentially.

I was at the dealer today and they sold 5 when most in the area got probably 1 each. I'm still hopefully by next month for mine, but why the rush to get one? Just to say you have the first one in Miami? Patience is a virtue. Can't see why you can't wait another 3-4 weeks for the dealer to hopefully get another one in a timely fashion. Like anything expensive, there are delays. I ordered a watch after Basel in March, I didn't see it until Feb the next year, nothing I can do about it even after paying it in full too.

@torrific Thanks for your comments. All the SF Shipped to the US were the S variant and no more SF are on their way since that shipment. The factory has been closed for over a month and I don’t have reports that it reopened in March as was originally thought. Even if there were bikes being manufactured (there aren’t) Shipping to the US would be a few months out. I don’t predict more bikes in US dealers until late summer. I hope I am wrong and bikes do get here beforehand but, I’m not confident at this juncture.

My dealer told me their demo bike might go up for sale soon. when I rode it, it only had 44 miles on the clock. I don't see it getting astronomical in the coming weeks, so if I could pick one up early and jump the line, I don't see why a demo bike wouldn't be a bad option either. I hope you can get one shortly though. I am jealous of those who've received theirs.

I would happily take an ex-demo too. The bikes are under warranty anyway, so any demo related issues could be fixed.
 
Mine is in and currently being modded. I know they have a demo unit that they are painting and moddin. But that might not be what your looking for? Just saying even if it’s not I’d wait for the SF.....

I’d take a demo, yes. Not sure about the modding though, unless its a new exhaust. Which dealer is this pls?
 
You'd have to reach out to Ducati Newport Beach, but when I spoke to him, he's going down the list of those who've put a deposit first before offering it to someone not on the list.

But who knows, money talks obviously.
 
V1 Moto in Houston has one with akra cans installed. I’m not sure if it’s spoken for or not though.
 
Thanks guys for all your help. My dealer just called me advising that he found me a bike afterall, so its all good. Picking it up on Friday.
