Any idea how many Scramblers are going to be produced the first year? I was wondering if these bikes were going to be hard to get during the first year or so.

I know my dealer mentioned getting three of each model on the first pass... from our conversation it sounded like that would be it for a while

They are probably going to adjust their production based on pre-orders, so....

With the manufacturing being done in Thailand I'm betting they can ramp up as needed. Just hope that the quality remains as it should for the brand, but there any many manufacturers that do this, Honda for one.

The KLR 650 does not seem to have suffered from being built in Thailand.

They have been good with their quality, but when a ramp up occurs sometimes there are problems. I have seen it first hand but I am not initially concerned with quality since thats the way of the world market. (Except for some Chinese products though)

9 on initial allotment is pretty decent. More then I would have thought.

BMW has had car and bike engines made in china for a few years now,,,as long as the manufacturer stays the course on QC there should be no problems,,,i was a little leary of getting first year production ,,,but the engine isn't really new,,,, Ducati has been useing this engine architecture for decades,,,
