I know my member name is MN04CandyRed, but since paying for a 2004 Candy Red out of dealer stock (not setup yet), my S.O. and I have changed our minds and opted for the Candy Black Cherry. (New member name in order I guess... )
Anyway the dealer is telling us that he cannot get this color from Honda until LATE May or early June!!!!!!! :shock: Honda told him they have intentionally put in a production gap on this color and will not be releasing it until more of the 2003's are sold. I called Honda and mentioned to them that I'm not interested in a 2003 and no dealer incentive could talk me into one. The Honda customer service employee first stated this color was not in production yet!!!!!!? I then told him about the message boards and of all the CBC's around the country I've heard about on these boards. He then did mention the production gap and advised depending on when the dealer placed the order, we may see it Mid May!!! I reminded him the bike is PAID for and I'm sure they would rather sell me a 2004 CBC Honda Goldwing, than for me to get my check back and head over to Yamaha or HD..... I can see halting shipments of non-sold units to the dealers with large volumes of 2003's remaining. Has anyone else heard of this issue ?? What to do??
