I understand that the DLX is a made-to-order item and I appreciate Honda's reasons for doing so. My confusion stems from the fact that my dealer ordered my bike literally the day after it was announced three months ago and I'll be waiting until nearly May to get it. Meanwhile, the stork has already come for some people who ordered their bikes weeks or even months after me.
In any case, it's not a big deal. From a certain perspective, it's actually a good thing. Winter has been very reluctant to call it a day here in MN this year and if the bike had shown up weeks ago, I probably would've had to trailer it home or have it delivered as there was still a foot of snow on the ground. In fact, maybe that's the answer. Is it possible that Honda delays shipment a bit to climates with a shorter riding season? I dunno. Also, the delay has allowed me to save up a much fatter down-payment than I was originally planning on. All good things. I only have a couple more weeks to wait... hopefully.
