Yes, I walked because he doesn't know anything now after telling me April or May since February. Now it is August delivery. i missed out on May from Abernathy's because I wanted a local dealer. He didn't require the $500 because he says he won't take a man's money if he can't tell him the day he will deliver your bike. I got home with it a few hours ago. Easy Living Yamaha in Rome, GA has one left in the crate when I left there this morning. 706-234-8502 or 800-234-2687. Ask for Denny. So it worked out better in the long run.

Just talked to my dealer, still no new info other than "April". So I called Yamaha Customer Service again, the guy I talked to this time was very nice to me, the last person was not. I gave him my order #, he left to talk to a few people and came back with the same answer that my dealer gave me.....April.
He said he was told that they could not give a date because of too many issues like customs and trucking times etc.
I asked him to relay a message for me and asked him not to take it personally.
I told him this is my first Yamaha experience and so far it has not been a particulaly pleasant one. I also said if I could have seen the delivery inequities and secrecy bullshit I would not have bought the bike in the first place (Yes, I would have but he does not know that). I went on to explain that I have a hard time believing that a company as large and powerful as Yamaha cannot predict the delivery date of a motorcycle in less than a 30 day envelope of time...BULLSHIT!!!! Space craft are sent to Jupiter and they predict accurately the exact moment that it will enter the atmosphere. Give me a f-ing break Yamaha and cut out the BS.
I asked him if the bikes were in cyberspace somewhere and Yamaha had no clue when they were going to reappear? He agreed with me that is was not right what is happening.
In closing I told him he needs to tell his superiors that Yamaha needs to do a much better job of customer relations if they want to bring back and attract customers. Onced burnt twice shy.
I need to get an address to send a strong letter to Yamaha, maybe I will get a key chain out of it.
The Cust. service guy said he noted everything I said and he said it would not fall on deaf ears. OK, whatever man....I just want my bike!!!!

Uh, something about waiting really sucking, but once you get that purty new FJR in your hot little hands, you will have forgotten all about how you hated the PDP.
Hard to believe, I know. But true. Very true.

If it helps any Rivgar I am on eastern Long Island and was told today that my bike is now in a New Jersey warehouse and should be rideable by next week. Being in CT I can't imagine it could be much longer for you either. I think I even saw a post from someone in CT who's bike is at the dealer.

I spoke with my dealer today. He called Yamamama, seems that Yamaha is backed up over the delay in the arrival of the panniers, and working very hard to get the March deliveries on the "Road" to dealers by April 10th. then they will begin shipping the April deliveries.
I think the big problem was the shipping company they used this year.

Thanks Axeman.
This is the problem. I am getting more information from board members than I can get from my dealer or Yamaha Customer Service. I appreciate everyones help here but there is something seriously wrong when board members know more about my bike's delivery than Yamaha or my dealer does. Something is very wrong with that picture.
As I said, I very much appreciate everyone's support here. It is Yamaha who I am upset with.
I wonder if any one from Yamaha's corporate office ever reads these forums, they should. :argue:

If Yamaha is trying to get all the March bikes delivered by April 10, I wonder if the April bikes will still get delivered during the last three weeks of April or if they are pushed into May? Any thoughts....Tony?

Drats, I didn't see any info on 'todays' listing of received-at-dealer
bikes. Maybe nothing happens on Friday.

I am told the April bikes will begin shipping right after the 10th. They had to get all March bikes out by the 10th and then they would be caught up. I have 11 more due this month and as soon as they start shipping I will let you know.

Here is the list as of tonight. Keep in mind that the possibility that bikes have shipped and the inventory locator may take 24 hrs to update. The same goes when they are actually sold and paid off it takes a day or so for it to go off the list.

Thanks for the list update. You've saved my dealer more than one call from me. My recent routine is to check the answering machine, then check your list.

My first April delivery bike is at the warehouse and will ship today. So I would think the March bikes are now shipped.

Tony,
If it is not too much trouble could you post a new dealer delivery list later today?
If you have time. You already supply so much info for this site. Thanks!
