At Honda of Norfolk they got one bike and it was on the floor for about a week they said. I bought it Friday, 12 April. I was just a walk in, stopping after work to just see one as I figured any would be pre-sold.
They said they had people looking, but no sale. I thought that was strange as this is a Navy town and sailors buy a lot of bikes. However, sailors are younger people (compared to me anyway)and like sport bikes. Or Harleys, lots of those at work (I'm a Navy civilian). I was there yesterday and we kept wondering where all the customers were.
Dealer doesn't know if they will get more, or so they said, and didn't know if they had any ABS models are on order. In fact, they didn't seem to know there were 2 models. Kinda weird, but they are nice as all get out.
I won't even set foot in Honda of Va. Beach due to the treatment I received in there in 2010, so I don't know what they received or have sold.
Honda of Norfolk's owneer said sales are a tad slow, and I think maybe a lot due to the furloughs we federal workers are threatened with. When our projected furloughs were 22 days, I ruled out a new bike. Now its 14 days, soon maybe 6 (I think) and maybe none. So I went for it.
