Dear Dealer:
As communicated at the May Town Hall Meetings, deliveries of 2012 Model Year motorcycles for select families will begin in mid to late June. This early delivery of select 2012 families is to support retail performance through the summer and improve overall inventory levels. Please modify your dealership’s sales plans to accommodate the delivery timing of the 2012 models and to manage the sell-down of 2011 models.
Below is a schedule and delivery timing for all 2012MY vehicle families.

Your dealership can expect an initial delivery of Softail, Dyna, VRSC, and CVO Families between July 20 th and July 27 th.

Dealer Action Required:
* Please review this delivery schedule with your motorcycle receiving and set up personnel to be prepared for the arrival of these units at your dealership.
* If you will be unable to accept deliveries due to Summer Dealer Meeting attendance, you must update your hours in GDIS. This should be done at least 2 weeks prior to the effective dates to allow adequate time for transportation to get the information to their drivers. Please also contact your Vehicle DSC to notify transportation.
