Ordered one ????
Ordered an "S" back in November,
Delivery expected 2 weeks into April this year,
Delivery delayed, should be end of April,
Delivery again delayed due to snow/inclement weather in Italy,
from Ducati, Italy,
"bikes ordered for April delivery will now be despatched (from the factory) end of April" dealer says - allow 10 days for transport from Italy to us,which would be 10th of May then ? WRONG
19th May - still no fuc***g bike - and no sign of it either !
Totally pi55ed off, another week and I'm off to order an Aprilia RSV4
From the info I have been given, there have been quite a few cancellations - some due to the fact that potential buyers can't sell/not getting the money they are asking for their old bikes, and, I think the delay in bikes arriving is just fuc***g people off ?

Where did you order it from?

[bradders]

After watching a racing one last week, think std exhaust better as the sound was not Ducati with the racing termi, didn't even sound like a twin, the ne foggy rode sounded much better

Answer to numbskull,
Laguna Motorcycles in Ashford, Kent, going to ring them in the morning, (Monday) find out what the latest "delay" excuse is ???

My base model was due April, but i got it this weekend.

The S version seemed to be on schedule from what I could make out from Parkinsons.

Might be worth a phone around to see if there were any available elsewhere sooner, or if they have all sold till August?

I have had my 'S' for about a month now, about 870 miles so far. 1st service done last week, i just need work and other things to stop getting in the way so i can get out more !!
