I finally got my bonus check and I've started negotiating with a couple of dealers in my area. They're both offering the same deal on a Jet Black '03 ($7995), but only one of them said that they'd be able to order the '04 SE. He said he'd sell it to me for $8500, so for $500 more I'd love to have the all black bike and the included windscreen & seat cowl.

But of course I'd have to wait for it. He's getting back to me today about how long it would take, but I was fishing to see if anyone here has ordered a bike and how long they had to wait so I had some "real-world" experiences to compare the dealer's estimate with. Thanks in advance.

I placed a deposit for my 04 SE, on 2-7. I was told it would take 2 weeks to get it shipped from Ga. It turned out to be 4 weeks from England. It arrived at the dealership in Houston on 3-5. I pick it up on 4-6. Can't wait! 25 wake-ups til then. Good luck!

Shame they can't do a dealer exchange or something so you could get one sooner??

They better not ship mine out to one of you guys by mistake, maybe I should go get it.

I don't know if you have contacted South Suburban Triumph (So. Chicago Heights 708 754 6466), but I last spoke to them before the Chicago Motorcycle show and they were expecting an black SE this month.

I don't know about pricing but they are not moving alot of bikes right now.....

Good Luck

I called South Suburban Triumph and they said they didn't have one, but I may check with them again. I also have a dealer in Racine, WI (Shoreline Motorsports) that was really cool with me and is currently beating the bushes trying to find one. It looks like I was a little late to the party so most of them are already spoken for as I've called quite a few dealers looking for one, but I'm not too worried.

If I can't find an SE I'll be pretty darn happy with a regular Jet Black S3 anyway. I'm just giddy with the knowledge that I'm going to have a new S3 soon regardless. Thanks for everyone's input.
