I knew the owner at the dealership.... says he puts in orders for say 6 bikes (talking just 690's for this example)..... might get 1 in January, another 1 month later, 2 in March, then no more. Or might get 2 in January, 1 in Feb, non in March then 3 in April and another in May. He doesn't know what or when he is actually getting them until the truck shows up.
The dirt bikes are a different story though!
