Just a heads up for those who are thinking about buying an 09 TC250. I was talking to Rob Keith today going over my 09 order and he noticed that I had 4 09 TC250s on my order sheet. He immediately said that there was no way that any dealer regardless of size is going to get more than 1 or 2 09 TC250s. Apparently, there are 50 09 TC250s coming to NA this year and 2 of them are earmarked for media purposes leaving 48 units for the rest of us to fight over. Rob would guarantee me 1 09 TC250 and thought that 2 would be next to impossible. Not blowing my own horn, but I was in the top 10 volume dealers in NA last year so a lot of guys wont be getting any 09 TC250s.
That would be 50 for all of NA. I bet Canada sees 2. 1 for me, 1 for a dealer out west. I have 3 pre-sold and wanted one for myself. Not sure how I am going to handle this...
How can that be? They should know the demand for this bike will be bigger than that, right? Especially with it already being a late arrival.
Even at the dealer show, Scot Harden and Rob Keith were standing up saying the 09 would be a "Limited Build" bike for MY09 so this really shouldnt be a surprise to those people who were at the dealer show. I just didnt expect Limited Build to be so Limited....
Any other news on how many TC's dealers will get? And when? Don't get me wrong I'm just excited I got my 2008 contingency. I'll wait a year for the new TC.
