So I was informed just a few minutes ago that my Dr Mayhem GT is still on back order (as well as some other paint schemes)

meaning it's not in the shipment heading for Vegas, that it's not likely even built yet and that it'll probably be a 2020 model when I eventually do get it.

I was told not to worry about any potential price increase though. It'll be a year this November they've had my deposit  >:(

Wondering if anyone else has heard such nonsense?

You know, I didn't ask, but I will later this morning when I talk with my salesperson. I'll be telling him that I'll take any one color INT from the arriving shipment

First choice Black, then Silver. Actually I'll take anything for 5799$. If I can get a Black one I'll probably put a plate on it and ride it a bit,

otherwise tearing it down to begin the project  ;D Really only wanted the bike for it's motor anyway, plus I'll have an extra 450$ to work with then

I may change my mind yet again and hold out for the GT  :-\

I learned early on in life that the vast majority of people come in one of only three flavors, dishonest,
incompetent or a combination of the two, so I don't usually get my hopes too high dealing with them.
Hell, a lot of them even aspire to incompetence because that way they get others to do their work and
take the fall for them when things go south (ring any bells?)

That first shipment of bikes to leave Milwaukee included every color and some Dr Mayhem GT's were shipped to
dealers who didn't even request them. There's one in Scottsdale AZ right now from the first shipment but they want 9,128$ OTD for it, LoL

Also, a week or two before that first shipment I was notified that RE would be sending bikes to dealers who had deposits on them first!
Then it didn't arrive.

Three weeks ago I was told my GT was in this shipment. Two days ago I was told it really wasn't. I rest my case

Obviously somebody's somewhere don't have their act together! So who actually knows how many Dr Mayhem GT bikes were shipped this time also  >:(

update: Scottsdale came way down on the GT, in fact 200$ less than Vegas to cover my costs getting over there and back.

First time I've bought a bike from a girl ;D  Deal is done and it's off the floor waiting for me to pick it up ;D

And just as well I didn't wait to see what Euro Cycle would get in because none were single color INTs, not counting the Chrome one

If you decide on an INT instead of the GT I would be interested in trading my silver tank for whatever color you get.

Glad to hear you finally sorted one out to enjoy. That said, it may not have been entirely loathsome to get the 2nd year's model with whatever improvements or corrections were determined necessary by those early adopters in the field. Still, that's what warranties are for, Eh? Enjoy!
So badass my Enfield's actually illegal  in India. Yet it squeaks by here in Virginia.
