I was talking with my local Ducati stealership and he said that the Ducati facory rep was just in their office and said that folks with an early deposit will receive delivery of their bike in January...all versions included. He said that Ducati looks at those bikes as "Sold" and will rush them to the states for delivery. I read somewhere that the Urban Enduro version I want was not going to hit the market until, like, May 2015...?!?!
I don't know the validity of this. The guy I was talking to was not the "Ducati guy". I'm assuming they have a salesman in their office that specializes in them. That guy is supposed to call me today to further discuss placing a deposit and answering any more technical questions I may have. I'll ask him about the early delivery?
Also, a question for you guys...
He also said that Ducati has a "mandatory" charge of $1,495 for shipping and assembly, so this would make the Enduro, for example, $11,490. Is this legit? I've never owned one, so I'll need to refer to your knowledge here. I do believe that with Japanese bikes, the "Destination and setup" charge is only, say, $200-$300, if not included in the MSRP outright (a lot of debate on this one). So, what do you think...$1,500 seem like rape or legit? Or maybe, this is the "bend over" moment that they want for a new-to-the-market bike?
