Hi all,

Anyone else out there waiting for new ordered bikes in Australia! Have you been given any timeframe from dealer?
 
Yes you guys who ordered streetfighters have really been messed about!
 
So what a joke! Told today after almost 4 weeks that bike will land in Australia in September!
 
Hi Turks, ordered in February but waiting for a SF V4. Time seems to have just stopped Lol but good thing happen to those who wait
At least the extra time gives me time to save for the exhaust I guess
 
Turks, I'm wondering if your delivery estimate is later due to your later order date?
Yes not sure was told originally 6 weeks, is going to be more like 12 which really is pretty unacceptable these days! Pretty bad when America has covid19 out of control but they are still getting there's
 
I'll just say sorry up front since I'm about to give you guys the ...... One Friday in mid March, when I noticed Italy in big trouble with COVID and factories shutting down, I rang my dealer to ask when, and in fact "if", the 2020 Panis were expected. I also reasoned that many would be holding off to see the SF before deciding which bike and so maybe I could join the queue while it was still short. Answer: they had arrived a week earlier and were all pre-sold and so was the next shipment, if it comes. But in Aus a lot of people were financially affected as we launched our own anti-pandemic measures - one of the bikes may become available. On the Monday I dropped in to see it, offered to ease their burden, picked it up 3 days later. Longest 3 days of my life .

That's the short story. It was in fact an incredibly sudden end to more than 4 years of procrastination, for most of which I wasn't even considering a Duc. But it was a fairy tale ending. This bike is well worth the wait!
