Yamaha Tenere 700 - Deliveries?

[HarveyCamm]

After many years and many, many miles on my Pan European I've decided to part-ex it and my CRF250L in for a Tenere 700. I got in on the early purchase deal after a test ride at the ABR weekend and now I'm finding the delivery dates - let's say sketchy! My dealers have said they're expecting demo bikes in early Oct which should mean that customer ordered bikes will have been delivered by then - has anyone else who has ordered one actually got a delivery date / estimate yet?

There's already a few more thousand miles on the Pan, if I can't get rid soon it'll need another service!!

Impatient me - maybe just a little bit

I got in on the early purchase deal as well but I haven't had a delivery date yet. At least the French factory has returned from holiday now so fingers crossed

Sorry Bob, we still have two hours for lunch mate

Stick with (or upgrade) your current arrangements. 2 well focused bikes are better than 1 compromise bike however great the hype and brilliant the marketing photos of new shiney bikes skimming effortlessly across the desert .

The hype will die down and T7s will be ho hum in a year or two

I rode the T700 at the ABR Fest and loved it
I deliberated up to the end of July and the Promo deal - it was only £300
I spoke to the 3 dealers in Yorkshire and non of them could even give an estimated delivery date as there were loads who had ordered in April/May & June already
Late September was the best - but more likely mid to later October at best
So, bearing that in mind (and I don't ride on the road in winter) I decided to defer to Spring 2020 and then there would be plenty of farkle options too, over the winter
For the sake of saving £300 it was a good option and maybe there may be be some discount of more than £300 in 2020

Ordered mine in May and the dealer's heard nothing yet. No problem though, waiting is often better than having ☺ Some have however got out of the factory as evidenced by a Ceramic Ice one that's on the road around here.

Definitely out there
A lot of mixed messages as it's gonna be a best seller

Ordered mine on Monday from Burton Yamaha.. hopefully the wait won't be to long but gives me time to pick up some farkles
