You have very eloquently said what I was thinking for the last 3-4months of my 7month wait.
Even my Indian dealership experience was strangely similar, with the exception of a nice lady I contacted when parts or service failed to respond to my calls and emails.
I can say that the wait is worth it. Once you get your bike, All the bullshit seems to disappear.
I never expected to make friends at the dealership or have loyalty to Indian.
Looks, reliability followed by price are the factors used in my discussion but reading your post reminds me of
the bitterness I was feeling throughout the waiting process.
Hope your wait is soon over!

Thanks Frank, much appreciated. I'm really not that frustrated about not being able to ride... its the timing with it, the extra hassle it will cause me etc. I also just wish they'd spend the extra money that they spent on "coasters and tin signs" on upgrading their portal server; instead of telling everyone it will be down for a few days.

Hopefully the bike itself is "reliable" and a good investment (wind therapy). Just praying I don't get a lemon at this point; every manufacturer has them.

O don't worry they will be lemons...they gave us coasters to enjoy some lemonade lolol

I too like my dealer - they've been very straightforward the whole way, and certainly responsive to my questions. Email this morning:

We should have your bike ready within a week from today. Is that going to work for you?

Welllllll, okay!
(Order confirmed May 13th; they "found a way to move me up a little.")

I figured it would be nice to see when people are ordering bikes and how long it's taking. We do this kind of thing in the hellcat forums too, which is why I wonder why it hasn't been done? List your order dates and update your post if you get the bike delivered or receive an update.

Ordered:
Challenger Dark Horse Sept. 4, 2021
Confirmation email from Indian Sept. 23, 2021
Edit: lol, dude at indian emailed me saying he talked to the floor and got them to bump my build up asap, because it was supposed to be prioritized under these circumstances. I told him, but it's supposed to ship by 4 days from now, 7/31.... how is it still sitting there unfinished.

Lol yeah... my Challenger was... They're sending me a Icon Riot Orange one as a replacement... really crossing my fingers. Though I'm not actually concerned. I think it'll be great. They just updated my status by the way.

My email this morning said "Gear up with Indian"... yeah, gear up for what? lmao

Honest question: if a Scout bobber 60 was available immediately to you, brand new and in the color you wanted your ISB. Would you take it?

I found it super insulting when they started to talk about the 2023 line up. Like seriously? You literally have orders from late 2021 that you haven’t fulfilled and you think it’s fair to market your fucking non existent 2023 lineup?

I totally get your previous message. I could feel the frustration and disappointment in your words and I think your said what all of us are thinking. I honestly thought about writing to the CEO, but what for? What will it accomplish other than me getting it off my chest?

I did speak to HD however. Lead time for a Sporster S is 45 days which basically means 2 months easily. If Indian just keeps pushing this shit, I might just cancel the order and wait until HD comes up with the 2023 model in a few months.

Personally- no way. I love the stance of the standard ISB. Different color, same model, I would consider it.

A dealership 3 hours away offered me one, and I declined. Ironically, that’s the bike I wanted when I placed my order and they said they couldn’t get anymore. Now I want the regular ISB and they can’t get that one either. However manages their manufacturing processes ought to be shot.

It depends on if it being a 60 is gonna matter

Called my dealer and he said that they still have a black smoke ordered in later part of March yet to be delivered. A person recently ordering has a estimated time of November/October.

Could be a few more weeks to a month on all the recent 7/31 moved to TBD.

 

[Bob1589]

I ordered my Rogue in April and it’s in transit now. They told me June 1-July 31 and will only be a week or so late. I’m lucky I guess… I’ll take it though!

Lol
I got more than one email about getting my trade-in value on a new bike before I even received my bike!

I did. Waiting on my Icon to come later this month. Here's the bobber 60 I just bought.

Well, the tracker was updated for my bike order last night. Went from a date to TBD. I guess that is movement of sorts, not a positive direction but at least something...
