depends on dealer. most require deposit to hold bike for you. expect it sometime in late february to mid march or so.

 

crap. march? seriously? well that certaintly changes things. i was thinking december.

 

most dealers will let you put down a $500 deposit to hold it..

 

The 04's were a new model also and I picked mine up on Feb 11th..... So I'm betting the same for the 07..............


I just hope I can wait that long, as I get older my patients get shorter and shorter.... lol

 

i plan on getting one but i dont want to sell my current bike too soon. if i put my name on a list at the end of this month when could i expect to take delivery of it? also, do i have to pay for the whole bike upfront or could i just put a down payment on it until it arrives?

why not ask this question to the sales pserson at the dealer?
if you gonna put your name down on a list, they should atlease tell you and expected date:fact

how are we suppose to know,, when you would get your bike. i don't want to be an azz, but you should ask this question to the person selling you ur bike

 

If Yamaha brings out an all new bike, expect it to hit in February. If not, then they may appear in December at the earliest. The earliest 2004 R1's hit about the 2nd week of February.

The average sales person has no clue, never did and never will. He's asking in the right place. :fact

 

i don't agree with that statement.
well let me ask you something then. give me and every1 here the exact date that the bike is coming out?


if some1 is makin me sign-up for a list, i would want to know when is the bike actually coming out.
and if the sales person doesn't know then i won't sign anything.


or better yet, ask the stote manager

You don't get it, the dealer doesn't know because no one knows. You can do whatever you want with your money, but there is no release date as of yet. If someone gives you an actual date, they're lying. You expect a release date for a bike that hasn't even been been released in pictures or info yet?

If you follow Yamaha's history, their NEW bikes release in February. The R1's were in Feb., the R6's were in Feb. Carry over models are usually released in December.

Sales people are sales people. They sell what's on the floor. Unless they're an R1 owner/fan (like us) they won't know.

Ouch:lol

For the 06's, we ordered in oct of 05. The R1 came in mid Dec, and my friends 1000rr came in Jan.

 

if its a carry over model, ie same look different color overall same bike, think december maybe even earlier, if it is completely new february, march around there....they usually release pictures of what it will be this time of year

 

Yamaha likes to use Sep 15 as their new model pictures day...

 

You don't get it, the dealer doesn't know because no one knows.

In hindsight, that's not totally true... someone knows, but they're not telling!



Also, when Yamaha releases their model info and dealer allocations, each dealer should know about when they get a particular model and color on a delivery month basis. i.e. 1 red R1 in March, 2 black R1's in April, etc. Yamaha does not use a Suzuki-style system for bikes. They only give a dealer a certain number of bikes for the year (usually based on the # of bikes they sold last year) and that's all the dealer gets. Suzuki will flood the market with their bikes, which is why you can find really good deals on them. If my Yam dealer sold 6 R1's last year, he can expect to get 6 this year. If he only sold 4 and he has 2 lay-overs... well say hello to 4 new bikes. Some dealers have enough pull that they can get several bikes and sell them at a reduced price because of volume (LakeHill Motors comes to mind), others, like mine, will hold on to the bike until someone pays MSRP for it.

 

ok, if the dealers don't know anything and here in the forum is where we can get the inside story about the new models.

i will be buying a new bike pretty soon, and wanted to know when the 2010 r1 is going to be released and any pics:crash



i have seen these sneak pics on the web

:crash

 

well ive never been in the market for a new bike let alone a brand new model bike that everyone will want. i figure most people here have and can share their experiences and opinions. history repeats itself so im sure the 07 will have similar release dates as the 04 did. my problem being that i wasnt around bikes when that one came out so i have no idea what to expect. plus i dont want to go to a dealer without any info and look like a moron. i wont have a salesman jerk me around because im uninformed. but thanks for the encouragement anyway babyit11.

hey, can you post some pics of your r1? i would like to see how the yellow looks

 

these pics were taken over a year ago. i painted her frame and subframe flat black to match the seats and the wheels(theyre dirty most of the time). im gonna sell her for 4k when the 07 comes in. hopefully they will have a raven 07. all black makes for a sexy R1.

 

I just hope I can wait that long, as I get older my patients get shorter and shorter.... lol

So you're a pediatrician now?
