Dealer said, ‘April’

no one is getting a bike until April and I put a post up on "proposed" delivery dates. then what the Kawi rep said to me at Daytona didn't give me any warm fuzzy feeling in my gut about getting it or any other dealers getting more than 1. some of us have plenty of other bikes to keep us quite occupied with and those who don't and this is their 1st bike. DON"T hold your breath, Kawi went through the same thing when promising the H2 models and watercraft and it took an extra 4- 6 mths to get to their destinations

When you say stuff like that it creates relationship problems. You are going to lose friends real quick around here.

My dealer said Kawasaki is shipping units earlier so I may get it by mid April. Actual expected date is sometime in May.

I know it's coming. ☕🍩
It's just a matter of time. 🥱

@MathewG I don't like Canadians anyway !! 🇨🇦

We checked w/Kawi March 9th, the boat was on the water, well under way.
They said, (FWIW) April-June delivery window, Pre-sold units being prioritized...

The one glimmer of hope that I have it could be earlier is that the fiscal year ends for Kawasaki at the end of March.
They are going to be trying their hardest to get pre-sold units paperwork done and delivered to pump those end of year numbers up.
They have a few days of grace period that runs into April that can go on last fiscal year.
Ask your dealer buddy if that makes sense to him.

@Pmack between what the rep said and the GM at one dealership, it's like picking 6 #s....but now across the pond those guys get theirs while we impatiently wait for ours with no positive news to share. for the time being I'm importing parts and when I "we" get the phone call or text that the bike is at the dealership, focusing on what's in front of me that I can touch !

They said they don't have a concrete date but strong expectation it arrives in the warehouse by April.

Not sure how much stock to put in that (previously said 50% chance in February), but they're a chill dealer and already have my deposit so why lie! Anyone else have any information?

It's fine I can wait

I work at a dealership (in Canada) and the Kawasaki rep was in last week, he said I should see my bike in April 🤷🏻‍♂️

Today my dealer said 2 in April and 1 in May (previously was Apr / May / Jun).

Lucky bastards. My dealer told me last week that they’re expecting the ZX4R to come in Autumn. Were not sure whether they’d have bikes to deliver to customers.
I even offered a deposit, which is very unusual in The Netherlands. But it will give me a little bit more certainty about being one of the first lucky ones.

I just checked with my dealer and he just said June. I find that hard to believe.

According to our dealer planned release schedule, 25% should be shipped in April, 50% in May, and 100% of orders by end of June. This was published in February, and the fine print says "This schedule contains the most current information available as of the publication date, and is subject to change after publication." It also says expires Feb 28th and we haven't got anything new since then so grain of salt and whatnot.

Kawi also does not tell us dates when our orders plan to ship. It goes straight from 'confirmed order' to 'shipped', no dates shown. Even our dealer rep doesn't know for sure so be careful when your dealer says it will be here in X month.

Thank you for the info. This is the first bike I’ve “preordered”

My dealer is still saying May. As stated above there is no way to pin point a date as to when the bike will show up at the dealers loading bay.

The videos are pouring out of Indonesia now. The end of April can't get here fast enough!!
