Hi all - i've been visiting this forum for a couple of weeks now and wanted to add my two cents to the forum. I am waiting on a red cbr ABS from a dealer here in Ontario. I too have been told "april" by the dealer. It seems like many of you have been told the same thing, or worse!
The weather here has been up and down, with alot of salt and gravel still on the roads, so i suppose waiting a few more weeks is not all that bad. Still, it would be good to know when it will arrive. As far as I have seen, no Canadian dealers have done an official launch for the 250r, unlike in the UK or USA.
Many of you have wondered about the potential delay due to the terrible situation in Japan. I suspect it will affect delivery for models that were not built before the tsunami on March 11, as likely a good proportion of the parts are sourced from Japan. I have read on other sites that North American models are coming exclusively from Thailand, and with a typical 4-6 week transit time to North America, those of you (myself included) who put a deposit on the initial dealer order should be ok, but who knows. That said, my dealer has been pretty vague. Hopefully it will all work out in the coming weeks.
