No 800GS Until September?

[RVB1019]

I was just reading on the BMWMOA board that the dealers won't begin to receive the first GS until September?

According to someone's post:
Basically, due to the tremendous demand in Europe and the US. High demand in the US seems to cause BMWNA to lose too much money due to the weak dollar/Euro

Has anyone else heard this? I would go to my local dealer and check, but it's over an hour away. Great support network you know! :rolleyes:

Last timeI talked with my dealer about it (maybe 2 weeks ago) they were still saying March/April timeframe.

It's true! My dealer got the e-mail today. No F800GS until September. They're asking dealers to submit contact info for customers that have placed deposits so that BMWNA can contact them directly.

On another note, my MCN issue had a piece on the 800GS and stated that the F650GS would be back in the US in '08. WRONG!

Sorry for the bad news...

I got confirmation from my dealer that all delivery of F800GS's has been deferred until August/September. No reason was given to the dealer so everything is speculation. One of the speculations is that BMW overproduced 1200 GS's and fear the 800 will cut into that segment. Who knows. I was also told that BMWNA and the mother ship in Europe hold differing views of this and other topics. All I know fur shur is no 800GS in March

The US allocation will be part of the August production. That means the bikes will be here early October. Bummer.
