There's going to be another divide, also ... those who have one, and those who are still waiting!

those who still waiting will need to pack patience forged of some strong steelLOL

I don't mate. It would be interesting to know if someone here on the forum has some insight to Oz numbers.Rock do you know of any in Aussie ?
I'll have to keep an eye out for you next time I am passing through from Townsville mate. All the best with it mate!Hi guys
I am in Mackay QLD there are 40 H2 AND 10 H2R coming to Australia deliveries may be end of February early March a lot of the H2R were bought by dealers there were 7 H2R already sold when my order went on the second day H2 there 4 left after two weeks
Makes a lot of sense. The original Ordering window closed two months ago but production will continue after our bikes are shipped out. The real interesting bit will be this "global launch". If we all get them at the same time there will be a surplus of bikes building up. A third ordering window would make K look a bit silly.I read on another site they were reopening the ordering again in April.Don't know how true it is...but it came from a guy who said he was tight with Kawasaki.Sounds plausible.
Imo the "window" will not be a thing anymore and it will just be available. That whole initial window was so people could be 100% guaranteed to get the bike if they put money down by such and such a day. Once they catch up with orders, when you want one they may even have a few ready for delivery to cut down on lead time. Who knows but that whole deadline stuff was so they could get the people that new they wanted them their bikes. Then all the other stragglers can get in line once the people who put down deposits get theirs.Makes a lot of sense.

Yeah, not exactly what they were telling people though... or at least what they told me: I have been told numerous times the window of opportunity would be only one...
Normally residual values take a hit when the supply of bikes is good - so, on the face of it, a 2016 production run of H2's is bad news in the (unlikely ?) event a 2015 H2 owner wants to sell. After all, if you could buy a brand new zero mile 2016 bike for £22,000 why would you pay £22,000 for a used one ?What a dilemma ,,, On the one side I want them to be available to the french who have the horsepower restrictions currently, and any and everyone else. The flip side is the residuals.
I care more about people in general and their empowerment. I hope more people can move things around, sell their Suzuki's ( Think stock market crash of the 1930's), have a lucky break and just make it happen.
I am in exactly the same situation, where in my case "the other one" was the Panigale R or the Aprilia RSV4 RF, and it was a small part of the final decision.I inquired as to whether the "window of opportunity" was a one time deal when I first started considering the H2. I took that into consideration when deciding to purchase the H2 over a Norton Commando for which I had been saving up for. My dealer called national and they told him as far as they understood it, the H2 & H2R where to be offered as a one time release.
If for some reason it's not, it won't turn me bitter and angry like a certain member on here, but it would be somewhat disappointing. Either way I just don't see a whole lot of H2's being sold, this bike is not for everyone. The style alone is dividing to many, so I believe the H2 will be a pretty exclusive bike.
