I know, I'm killing myself. I don't have a bike at all, and the chances of me being able to afford one (or should I say convince my wife that we should put our money towards one) of these when it comes out is about as likely as me winning the lottery

Tbh, I really don't understand why they don't put the new 12 into production now. They have already made a large number of the new bikes for shows, videos etc, and production of the twin cam regular 12 stopped in August, so why the long wait?

Marketing?

Or maybe wait until the biking 'season' starts again o they can boast impressive sales figures

Could be, but its mainly the uk that has a biking season, the rest if the world ride all year round.

Good point. I would have guessed that europe is the biggest market though, don't they have biking seasons?

I would imagine they are not far off producing the new bike now.If you assume the production capacity is about the same as the last model, which was probably about 350 a week then they will have to supply every dealer in Europe the US and farther afield with at least 1 bike but probably 2 or more.I don't know how many Motorrad dealers there are That will take months I would imagine, and thats assuming they were at full production capacity straight away which they probably won,t be.

Re starting production - Motorrad Eastern Edinburgh informed me that ,they are getting 6 new GSs on March , from bikes already made or from 2013 production, I don't know. Said 2 are already sold and 1 is for a demo bike.

Because every manufacturer has limited resources and manufacturing capacity.
