I feel for you man, but this is not something that Yamaha alone does, most bike manufacturers tend to delay their new lines.

I have wrote it in a thread that I did speak to the Head of Marketing at Yamaha only 3 weeks ago and I was told that the first limited batch is probably going to be available in mid may (and all of them are spoken for already) but the full wide distribution will not be until mid June.

I think these Praise and Shame threads are really meant for service received by third parties such as suppliers of aftermarket parts and mechanics, dealerships, online vendors etc etc.

I am sure Yamaha will be wanting to ship these bikes as soon as they can themselves however it must not be easy to get ready with the production of a new line of bikes which requires new part suppliers of frames / forks / engines / and so forth.
