That is sad. Same thing happened to a friend last year. He had a deposit on a FSE450 and it never showed. He finally got sick of waiting and purchased a WR450.
I hope BMG gets it together, because nothing takes the thrill out of buying a new bike like bad or no information about delivery.
Good luck Glenn, I hope it shows up soon.

Canada has a different Dist than the US.
In fact, we used to have a West Coast and an East Coast Dist. (GG Pacific and GG Atlantic) GG Pacific has just bought out GG Atlantic and will be looking after the entire country.
I talked to the Dist today and he said he has lots of 250s but only 1 EC300 which I grabbed immediately. Our ECs are real Euro bikes with headlight, tail-lights etc... For some reason the 250s dont sell real well up here. Everyone wants 300s.

Not true. I want a 250. I just can't afford it yet. Maybe next year...
I wouldn't worry too much... (yet!) 
I talked to Dan @ Marshalls Motorsports today (I am putting together a website for him) - it isn't that there isn't a shipment coming - it's that Iron Mountain won't commit to a specific date because the spaniards are not always "timely" - a cultural thing...
So, all I would conclude at this point is that Iron Mountain (dixie/bmg) is just being conservative... I'll see if I can get an "estimate" or "guess" out of Iron Mountain and let you know.

...or buy a bike that is in stock.
My buddy just bought an EC300 from GoFasters. He said they still have a DE300.

Yes. I didn't mean to sound like chicken little. I was just pointing out it's another transition and bikes might be rare until fall.
It's actually a double whammy since the factory just went through a major restructuring as well.
When we were dealers, after the poor 2002 sales year - 2003 was a good sales year for us and 2004 and 2005 were super.
If you have a good dealer, he should be able to hunt down another dealer with stagnant floor stock and get you a bike. They are here, just not all in the right places for the guys who want to buy them. In '04 we shipped bikes from Minnesota to New Jersey and Hawaii.
