I talked with my local dealer today. Since the FZ-09 was a fall release, he is getting a grand total of 1 bike in late October. By then, it's game over for riding in Alaska. He says he will have that one on the floor for people to check out, and there will be 7 more coming in the spring. (March)

I guess I'll have to live vicariously through the videos, pictures, and stories that the rest of you post, so keep them coming. Have a great winter all. :encouragement:

Update: Here's another weird thing. They are taking deposits on the spring bikes, but seem to be holding on to the one winter bike. I can only assume that it is a marketing plan to have an actual bike in the showroom for people to sit on and drool over, and one of the employees will probably end up with it.

bummer, Willow. Hopefully by then you'll be able to get your pick of the lot.

I too will be looking at pictures and videos of the FZ09 since they are sold out where I live.

Man that really sucks. It is frustrating because you WANT to spend money on one, just can't get it. It is like Tickle Me Elmo all over again.
