Delivery delays?

I was told a couple of weeks ago that there was a production delay with the new Transalp. My local dealer denied this but it's now the end of April and their promised demonstrator has yet to appear. I'm getting twitchy now, will my bike arrive in May? On the other hand Italian dealers seem to have demonstrators judging by some of the video posts on YouTube.

Hey @RickyTstairs. Mind sharing where you heard about the production delay from? Have you checked with other local dealers to see what info they might have?
A friend in London dropped into a local Honda dealer and heard it from them. My local dealer (Shrewsbury) hasn't heard of any delays and still expects a demonstrator in April, except that its now May 1st and it hasn't arrived. The lack of any order updates is frustrating, I've had no feedback since I placed the order in February. I ordered a Skoda car 3 years ago and got regular updates.
I spoke to my dealer yesterday for an update. He's taking part in a Honda Transalp dealer day on May 11th. He expects his demonstrator the following week or after. Customer orders will follow after that. So I can't expect to see my bike until early June. Just in time for my birthday.
Currently being delivered in Spain. I hope to get mine (2nd batch) next week.
Lucky you. What colour did you go for?

Tricolor. Like my old Transalp i used to have. Plus skid plate, engine guards and hand guards. Nothing else. Ah, yeah, and the turbo kit.

Here is one in the store ready for delivery (1st batch).

Yes the tricolour was the only choice, same here.

For me it was not the only choice. It is the one I want.
