Hi Everyone, I'm Kostas fron Athens (Greece) and have a Susuki GSF SA 650, K8. When I saw that it will be released in a while i put my Suzuki for sale. A Yamaha dealer told me yesterday that the model (xsr) will be in Greece next month.....

You're so lucky! I'm across the pond so we may never get it. :crying:
And you get to go home with one next month too! Have you already put down a deposit?

You'll even have a whole slew of OEM parts to choose from for you XSR700!

Do you plan to mod it?

 

[kostas]

Yaaamaha, sorry to hear that...:frown2:
I will wait for the xsr to come to Greece to see it up close and after i pay.
GogglesMcoy, I have seen the above list and i like the following:
1.High-mounted Exhaust System
2.Smoke Fly Screen
3.Billet Frame Tube End Caps
4.Radiator Cover
other mods will be later....

Just imagine all that saved money that can go towards modifications and accessories!

Is this delay for all of Greece or just that dealer?

 

[kostas]

I spoke with the head office in Athens

hey Kostas welcome to the forums and congrats!!

 

[TrueNorth]

i imagine delays would be region specific. I suppose that it has to do with the reason for the delay. Is it still warm enough to ride in Decemeber in Greece?

here we ride all year....!!! :wink2:

I don't think there's actually a delay. In the UK the bike's going to be launched at the end of Nov/early Dec so dealer will probably have it in their showrooms in December. That's usually a pretty quiet time of year for bike dealers over here, but I think there's going to be a lot of interest in the XSR700. When the MT-07 was launched you had to go on a waiting list to buy one.

 

[GogglesMcoy]

But wasn't the MT-07 launched around spring when motorcyclists are starting to get active again? May see the xsr700 sales pick up around that time.

Good point. I'm hoping to get in early and beat the rush!
