Fox'x Yamaha in Bloomington, IN received 3 Raptors today. They received their first one two weeks ago like most other dealers did. Of course they have more deposits than allocations, I just wanted to let everybody know about round 2. Also, I have the number 2 Raptor from Transport in Lexington, KY, so I am next, that has been my big concern for watching out for the 2nd round of shipments. I would like everyone to post 2nd shipment info to figure out if all dealers are getting several at once for the 2nd shipment or if they are going to slowly work their way through the dealers at a slower pace than the first shipment? Thanks for the information you can provide!

Indy Cycle & Ski got 3 today! Dreyer got 3 today! Both in Indy! 0 in Hobart, 0 in Merriville, 0 Peru, O in Hammond, 0 in Seymour and he is pissed, he went into a rant about how he sells more than the Indy dealers and he was told he would have 6 all this month and continued on about how he wanted ten beartrackers and Yamaha gave him 21, he didn't exactly sugercoat his thoughts about the situation, and I was a total stranger on the phone, it was just a bit funny, he was hot!!!

I just called Transport in Lexington and he said #2 and #3 came in today, Oh Yeah!!! I'm number 2 and my best friend is #3 so we are leaving in the morning from Bedford, IN to head to Lexington, KY. I sure am glad I called because I talked to the salesman yesterday and told him to let me know asap because I'm so far away, he was probably wanting to get some advertising time out of it tommorow on Saturday, thank good I called, but I can't blame the dealer for wanting some showtime!! But I'll be riding tommorow and I'll post some pictures and video!!!!

cddcpa,

I went to my dealer yesterday to observe a blue Raptor. I'm glad that I had the opportunity to see it before it left the showroom. I'm #2 in line for the Raptor and my dealer told me that I should be expecting my machine sometime next week.
