I was disappointed in ER 2021 EICMA showing with nothing on the new Super Meteor 650 or the new 411 Scam.

From the perspective of THIS product design engineer, delays are a GOOD sign.

I interpret delay in product introduction as meaning that management is listening to Engineering dept, who wants things as perfect as possible, and NOT to Sales or Accounting, who are just in it for the money.

Also, before I fall off my soapbox, I'll add that real life experience in seeing my own designs produced, makes me leery of buying into first production runs, when bugs have yet to be found, or end of life production, when the parts that QC formerly declared substandard and segregated, are finding their way out of remote warehouses and into product.

You must have been a BMW motorcycle owner at one time.
