I just bought a M1100 Turbo 50th from another dealer, supposed to be here this week. Couldn't wait for my snow-check. Going to the mountains on the 30th
Well Ken didn't shed any light on when my sled is coming. He said "they where going to build them the last week of the month," I asked what was on the line he said "he didn't know". I asked how many they build a day he said "he didn't know." I asked how long from when built to the dealer, he said "once a dealer truck is full they send it out." Arctic Tracker has it being built tomorrow. I guess wait till mid week with fingers crossed and cancel trip if it doesn't show.
machines will be at most dealers around the 22nd. its up to them to get them built and contact the buyers. A/C probally has a good reason for the delay. The tsunami didnt help things. quality over quantity seems to be their goal. id rather have that that then the other lol. the wait will be worth it.
I just don't think a spring order mountain should be the last ones out. It will be worth the wait because I don't have a choice. I try justify buying these sleds by planning x amount of trips per year and now I get to cancel one.
Apparently since the nuke generation plant in Japan was destroyed in the earthquake there is now a power shortage therefore the Zuk plant has to run at a reduced capacity. Also I don't think Suzuki really has a sense of urgency to keep up good relations with Cat and their customers since their contract is up in a couple of years.
I understand there will not be extra fours made but the orders are going to be filled and delivered; just LATE. And back to my original thought; why are the shorty four bangers getting delivered down south before the long tracks to the north? Nobody knows.
theres a few reasons they are late, tsunami, power supply in Japan and they were projected a 25% snow check on 1100 and ended up 48% . the wait will just make delivery that much sweeter. no snow yet and still have M1000 to get me by
