I have no data on how many of each year bikes were sold (was discussed in a separate thread, but it is confidential data that Kawasaki doesn't release). Logically, there were only two model years for gen 1 and we are now into 3 model years of gen 2 (who knows if there will be a 4th year of gen 2). But there might have been more interest in the bike when it first came out- so it might be a wash for now.
But other factors come into play- the older bikes are more likely to already have some type of drop/crash protection, and the newer bike owners are more likely to be nervous about adding drop/crash protection. It will be interesting to see how the statistics play out
Hmmmm, that is interesting. It'd be intriguing to know how many bikes of a certain year they sold...
Yeah- excellent indeed! We might have to start hounding Ryan to move UP the deadline (closer to now) so we can get things moving faster
I wonder- has word leaked out to the "other" Concours group yet?
Hahahahahaha! Unfortunately moving the deadline up wouldn't do much to quicken the process because we're basically anchored by the production schedule. The bars are going to take roughly 4-5 weeks to manufacture regardless of the Group Buy guidelines. We are planning on getting the 2009 Connie in here soon, though! I can't wait til we start design work on that Canyon Cage!
Also, word has definitely leaked out! I believe someone posted a thread over at the COG forum and I'm sure other places as well! We should have absolutely no problem hitting the maximum discount. Especially because we're already at 28 orders!
hi guys , this group buy has just popped up on our uk site, im keen to buy and maybe a few others over here. The sucker punch for us maybe the postage , we can get the adventure bars here , which i was just about to order . Can you give us a price for the additional postage to the uk and then we can work out the exchange rate and see how the deal stacks up, the 25% is looking certain now.
Oh, man, that's awesome! Yea, I could see postage being an issue for some of you international guys but with the 25% discount it may actually come close. Postage to the UK is going to be roughly $45-$55 depending on the exact package weight and recipients postal/zip code. With the maximum discount you're looking at saving nearly $75 though so it may actually be worth it.
