Default New '09 colors?

A dealer in Denver called me a few days ago and told me that they were already ordering '09 bikes and thata few new'09 color options are now available. He said that he didn't have any other info as to what new features, if any,the '09's come with. Apparently, the factory options available are the same as the '08's. Has anyone else heard anything about this?

I hate to say that this dealer if full of horse hockey but to say they are already ordering 09 bikes is wrong. The dealers (even ones in Colorado) don't even know what bikes are going to be available until they get to the dealers meeting in July. Dealers here in the states do not get advance notice of these things until they go to the meeting. At that point they find out what models have been dropped/added to the different families, what the color choices are and what the new accessories for the bikes are. The people who handle military sales overseas know this info prior to the dealers here in the states.

Hey Peppa1 I'm not calling you out but your info is not correct. Dealers can order 09's that are being continued. They cannot order the new releases until the show.

Peppa1, I think you'll find the new bikes at the dealerships at or near the same time as the dealer show.I don't think they would have ordered them the day before.
The dealer show is only 90 days away.
