thats a good reason why I would not throw down pdp cash on a bike such as the late delivery Super-10. With so many Yamaha dealers in trouble you might not get your new bike or the cash back. Since dealers are seperate businesses from mama yamaha,when they go tango-uniform your S.O.L. .

they are dropping hard out here in the eastern part of the country.

Yeah, some people had deposits there for pre-orders on the BMW K1600GT/L. The pre-orders are safe but I don't know what happened to their actual deposits. On the other hand California law requires all deposits to be refundable; maybe that trumps bankruptcy?

With Yamaha's PDP -- your $500 deposit goes into the dealer's parts account with MamaYama (Cypress). So, the importer/distributor is involved with your deposit.

I'd like to think that -- no matter what happens to the dealer -- Yamaha knows where your money is (and, you can get it back)?

Sorry to hear about another dealer and small business closing. They just keep toppling in the Bay Area too.

Yes... the best way to make a million dollars is to start with 2 million and open a motorcycle shop
