Hey all, so we all know this new bike is getting great reviews. Heck, everyone I know is talking about having this as their first (or second, or third) bike. I've started reaching out to dealers to get a sense of when we would get them, if people are getting large demand, so here's my findings so far.
1) The bike is in HUGE HUGE demand.

I don't think this surprises any of us, but every dealer I've contacted is talking already about supply issues, not enough NIneT's to go around, and to get deposits in early. Some dealers have as many as 3 deposits already, and the bike is a week into announcement. THAT IS HUGE!

2) Deposits are currently in the $100 range
This is great news! We were worried that they would hold people hostage to get the bikes.
3) The first NineT's are expected to land state-side Feb/March 2014, but dealers in the NY area are confirming as late as march 15th. So, in time for the riding season next year!!
4) If you want one, really want to secure one, Bob's BMW (bobsbmw.com) is expecting 4-5 of them to arrive for that February/March timeframe, and they already have 3 deposits down.
The things you will hear dealers say about the NineT, so be prepared:
"They (BMW) have stated they will limit the production."
"We are not sure (BMW won’t let us or any other dealer know) how many we will get."
"Its possible we may only receive a few (tops 4-5)"
SO WHAT DOES THIS ALL MEAN!
- Get your deposits in!
- Don't wait!
- Shop around to dealers and make sure you're in the top 4-5 to get them. In fact, post and let us know so we can co-ordinate it.NineTOwners is a great place to track it, we have all the people looking to buy these bikes, and we have dealers on here that may be able to help you squeeze through if financing falls through for someone, or they get extras.

Don't let the winter get you too down waiting for your NineT's, but at this rate this bike is HOT HOT HOT!
Happy shopping/hunting!
