Yeah, I know its early, rumors I've heard are Oct./Nov., but also heard peeps are putting down deposits. Obviously, there's the sucker-factor of agreeing to buy a bike before it even hits US dirt, but they may give some value to pre-orders as a bird in the hand (hows that for using 2 or 3 cliches in one sentence?)
The Costco buying program usually allows pre-purchase for almost MSRP OTD, but Kawi is supposedly exempting the 300 from the program. bummer.
