I popped into the Superbike 56 (Suzuki) dealers at Vannes today to enquire about a new V-Strom. You may know I was looking for a red one but to my surprise I was told it was no longer available in that colour and only grey and white were. Imagine my disappointment.
The salesman went on to tell me the 2015 colours would be grey, white and BLUE! No red.
I asked him to check the stock he normally draws from and he told me all the red ones had been distributed and therefore sold. He then checked with a regional (West half of France) rep. who confirmed what I had just been told. Oh dear, my dream was evaporating fast.
I asked if there was any way to check any further and he said he's put a call in to someone who controls incoming stock from Japan, and yes a boat is due in towards the end of October and there were TEN RED V-Stroms in the load and so far only half had been reserved! If I wanted to reserve one I'd probably have a couple of weeks to do so!
I need to go back with some paperwork to get mine on order and it might be tomorrow.........
Happy Bunny heh?
