I just gave them a call and my bike's status is Inventory so at least I now know that it's been built and is sitting down in York. Again I'm tempted to offer to drive down and pick it up myself since they're less than 4 hours south of here.

Thanks again for the help, WildHair!

When I orderd my 07 inOct 06 it was supposed to arrive at the dealer Jan 10th 07. It arrived a bit early and made a great X-Mas present. I picked her up 12/23/06.

I ordered an 08 SG July 16th and the dealer added the options I wanted (ABS being one of them). The ship date was August 10th, but was change to August 14. The bike wasn't builted until September 1 and the dealer said that the ABS was on back order do to supplies, so the late build date. I never purchased the bike because the dealer told me the bike would not be here until late October early November, so I decided to take the 105th without ABS off a show room floor instead of waiting to ride a SG until next year.

I just got off the phone with my dealer. They are showing mine with an "in transit" status, which I'm told means the bike has been built and is being transported to the warehouse for shipping. He said they typically hold them at the warehouse until they have a sufficient number of bikes going to a particular region (presumably a full truck load), at which point they actually go out.

He said based on all that my January 3rd ship date should be pretty close.

Good luck on yours, Steve. And thanks, Wild Hair, for pointing out the other statuses which roll up into "ship date".

Good luck with yours as well, Jeff. I hope it arrives on or very close to your ship date.

Congratulations, tda69!

ABS my brotha! Can't wait until tomorrow morning. Woohoo! The photo below is the same bike I ordered...pacific blue pearl/vivid black (with ABS). I cannot take credit for the photo, it's not mine. I borrowed the image from one of our esteemed members here. Hopefully he doesn't mind me posting a photo of his bike.
