My local dealer--Fred Cummings Motorsports, (Bakersfield, Ca) ordered three of them, two standards and one ABS. I was given first choice (because I've been whining the longest!), and the first bike (non-ABS) arrived on 2/29. I went to look at it, but told my dealer I'd wait for the ABS model. Another customer who had a deposit came to look at that bike the next morning, and bought it on the spot.
I picked up my ABS last Friday. The dealer has the other non-ABS on the showroom floor and said there's been interest, but not sold yet. One of my co-workers at work has told me, "I'm going to buy one of those bikes", although he hasn't had the opportunity to go look at it yet.
I really hope this bike can be the catalyst that renews an American love for standard motorcycles. Had Honda not imported this bike, I was really considering buying a Triumph Bonneville.
