Ok, I know that this is a UK forum BUT there is none like it in OZ. So please, Australians post your thourghts of anticipation here.
My thoughts:
BWM as so lacking in info. I found out the the 650s was to be replaced in late 2007. Internet watching revieled the new 800gs. I visited my local dealer in Vic fom early June (perhaps before), I TOLD THEM STUFF. The southbank dealer would not assure me delivery in the first batch at the end of july. They had 15 orders they said. I ordered through oakliegh. They would not assure that i was in the first batch. But they stated that i ordered the 5th of 6 they were expecting (end of july).
They are expecting a demo 800gs in August. I have made it quiet clear that i want to ride it ASAP. But now it is the 11th of Aug and there is no word.
Too add, the original release date was September, but when I ordered it was October. They wont even give us an end, mid or start of month.
I really do think that BMW think that their shit does not stink. I so wish that the Japs brought a very similar bike (the closest i can see is the suzuki V-storm)
Well good luck to all us here in the southern hemisphere.
