Well that escalated quickly. I’m quite certain I have a brain or I wouldn’t be here having this conversation. I stand by my statement with the caveat that we all have a different set of circumstances to deal with that may be driving our decisions. I also stand firm on the fact that people canceling their orders and airing their grievances online will in no way hurt Indian as there are plenty of people with more ideal circumstances out there continuing to purchase their products. However, I do agree that their tracking system and the way they communicate with customers needs to be improved. You could maybe try harder not to get offended by other peoples results as many people in your same situation empathize with yours, and rightfully so.
I just got the same answer for my Pursuit....
Addressed this with my dealer early on, what they told me was if was ordered before May the quoted price stands. He said there will probably be a 5% increase in destination charge.
I feel your pain
(There was an orange Chaly DH on the floor...so that one tugs at me too). I got at least two compliments before I even left the dealership. All the chemicals (paint, grease, fluids, etc.) heating up for the first time can somethimes smell...good...or even just different.....she smelled very chemically. I'm sure a few more heat and cool cycles will help that go away.Beautiful! Congrats!UPDATE....

09012022: Picked bike up, rode it home (with 3 free tshirts)
Took almost 4 months. At the time of purchase I was told "late July or early August". So late August (when it actually arrived) really isn't that bad all things considered.
My knee jerk reactions from seeing her, to sitting on her, to riding her home.....
- She looks awesome. I made the right choice....for now.
- I was a little surprised how almost cramped I was. Not quite cramped, but for some reason my body (namely legs) expected to be stretched out more. Zero issues, but just an initial feeling. I'm 6'1".
- The rear brake "peg" feels a little high. But my frame of referrence is my small dual sport bike where the brake peg is almost even with the bottom of my boot. With the SDH, I have to sort of move my foot a good chunk up and over to brake.
- The jury is still out on the seat. I only put about 20 miles on, but I was already feeling it a bit. Now, some/most/all of this might be due to coming off a long weekend in the saddle of my other bike, where I spent 3 long, and at times painful, days riding.
- She Stinks!
- Kept her in Standard Mode the whole time. It's going to be hard enough to ride her mello during the break in period, so I don't need to be tempted with Sport mode just yet. Also, all is so new to me so I'm taking it easy.
- And even though the bike was reading the outside temps as upper 80's/low 90's, the fan never kicked on! 🤪
You've waited long enough.......and yes...as a diehard dirt bike rider...I took her off pavement the very first day.....
