New Bike Shortage
It would appear the new bike shortage is starting to bite hard. I was in my local Kawasaki dealers today and they have a list of about 5 bikes they can order,anything outside that,forget about it.
There are plenty of Versys available,if that's your thing!
I'm not changing this year,but I wanted to test the water.
How are things in your area?

Cars too.
We were quoted a year wait for a new car for the wife, ended up getting a 1400 miles used car instead.

Re: New Bike Shortage
I work for an OEM and as you might expect we get a cheap car deal.
Not this year!
They said there's no point, if we ordered a car today we'd get it in 60 weeks. So may as well wait until next year

Re: New Bike Shortage
It’s a big problem for our industry, a long waiting time for new machinery and for parts too. Absolute nightmare.

Re: New Bike Shortage
Looking at getting a Rav4, waiting time at least 54 weeks.

Re: New Bike Shortage
Same with vans and some electrical materials. It’s becoming an issue but not a lot we can do about it tbh

Re: New Bike Shortage
Our work cars are up for renewal - the lease is being extended by six months (at least) because of unavailability.

Re: New Bike Shortage
Parts too, especially batteries, not one battery place in the whole of NI has a battery for an 1150GS. Ordered through the dealer so hopefully here Saturday but I'm not holding my breath
