geno0506 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Back ordered my Benelli 11721 May 20th, I knew it would be a long wait but just wanted to get in line at least! I know their production started back up, has anyone back ordered a Benelli M4 and still waiting or received theirs! just curious, thanks!

steel-plate Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Only been 6 weeks. I've heard different stories, but could easily be months. Production delays, parts availability from suppliers, and having to distance work stations( at each station, plant, and every vendor level) will mean full production could be way lower now than last year. , 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aznwhip Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I wonder if we might see some QC problems with covid era production runs due to unprecedented working environment. Might someday be seen as an "avoid this range of serial numbers" situation for weapons made during this time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangerDanger Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Summers are full of insane holidays in Italy. Half the country takes a month off to fornicate and fight. Ask any Italian girl, she’ll tell you. Covid probably isn’t helping anything either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClackClackBAM Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Yup. The Ducati factory in Bologna is closed the entire month of July. Found that out on June 28th when the motor in my Panigale blew up. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this year's International Motorcycle Show Kawasaki showed their new "Z H2" which I instantly fell in love with. Its a more relaxed rider's triangle but the power plant is still supercharged! BRAAAAP BRAAAAP. I personally own a 2015 HD Softail Slim, which I've done a fair amount of work to. I just enjoy the classic lines of the bike. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evolution Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 (edited) I hate waiting for stuff, so much so that I rarely if ever go ahead and order anything that is backordered. Edited July 18, 2020 by Evolution 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have the bike, it's just in pieces cause there is a problem with the motor and Ducati North America is trying to screw me over. It knew it would be down for a while so I bought a new R1 last year so I'd have something to ride. Now I like the Yamaha more than the Ducati haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClackClackBAM Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) The duc is my first bike and I absolutely fell in love of with it. But for as long as I can remember, I knew I wanted an R1. When the duc went down, I saw my chance haha Edited July 19, 2020 by ClackClackBAM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveD9 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I hate waiting also. I'm more inclined to pay more and get it now.(Gotta love Gunbroker) I tell myself I didn't spend too much money I just bought it too early. So far my way overboard preparation for Hillary is paying off. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unobtanium Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 2 hours ago, ReddEyes said: It appears that performance motorcycles are following in the footsteps of automobiles. Classic muscle vehicles have distinguishing qualities that remained consistent throughout the lineage. You just knew what it was, whether it was the trunk slope or the grill. The only genuine current ones that stick out are the newish CBR1000rr's blunt nose and the GSXR's notorious cyclops eye, but for the most part they are all transforming into the dual foxeye, sharp tail KawasukiCB-R6 (Raven/pearl white.) Occasionally, however, they are astute enough to paint it correctly, like as the anniversary edition r6 from a few years ago. Off topic a bit, but a friend of mine's wife had a v6 Mustang, 2017-18? Anyway, they hated the car, but I drove it and it INSTANTLY reminded me of my 1988 mustang 5.0. Instantly. It just "felt familiar". I was and am still amazed that Ford captured that through the decades and retained it, even though this was a V6 with IRS and all sorts of differences.

I ordered my 11724, and requested that my dealer inspect it before shipping for off-tint ano, and crooked recoil tubes. Mind you, these are FACTORY C-stock LE guns, Form 4, to boot. He inspected a couple and was astounded that the one he initially had picked for me before I asked him to inspect, was indeed crooked. The one he sent me, I just did a cursory inspection of, and the only flaw I could find is the rear ghost ring is dinged. NOT the ears. NOTHING else on the gun, JUST the ghost ring. I think it must have happened prior to install on the weapon. Anyway, overall, looked good to me. I think we are just seeing normal disruption for an industry during COVID, really, and not nearly as bad as some. You won't find a company immune. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kahamu Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 What do you mean by crooked recoil tubes? As in not aligned properly so that the c stock is off center? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
