I agree 100% with RedSpruce
You are very correct! In this case an early deposit did not really help your order or pricing in any way. But you did lose the use of your money, and any interest you could have earned!
Maybe CSC has a "FIX" for that! GOOD LUCK! Quote:

Yes, but has anyone confirmed the as of now show room price. Perhaps they are asking more?

Currently the CSC website has the price as $1895. I see no reason why the showroom price would be any different.

Not saying it is or isnt. I know of a reason...Profit (which means, keeping the doors open)

Hey, I agree they need to make a profit. We all want to get something in return for our labor. My first point references this. My stored labor(money) has sat idle for six months with no return. In the case of the RX3 my stored labor gave me a return in the reduced cost of the bike.

I am starting to have a bad taste in my mouth over my order. I put 1G down in feb or or early March, i think i am order 150, and am starting to wonder if i will get the bike before July. Honestly, I am looking, at used dp bikes again from the big 4, hard to find and very dear in price. I had a lot of faith in csc, but i am starting to wonder, the fact that someone can walk through their doors and pay what we paid after we funded this project is bogus, not good business if indeed true. I am hoping they will step up, and start hustling are orders out. Heck send me the unbuilt bike and the set up manual and i will do it myself. I used to do service and set ups on Honda motorcycles and atvs!!

I also want to get the best return I can for my stored labor and I am disappointed with the result at the moment.

putting my money in 6 months ago kept me from spending it on something else. if the money had been around a month ago it may have be used for something completely not fun.

It does chap me a bit that they were supposed to go to $2495, or something like that, and only went up to $1895. Feels like they lied to get people to fund their project and it killed the equity I was expecting to have in my bike. One of the biggest reasons I decided to get in was that even if I didn't like the bike, getting in at well under retail would allow me to sell it without loosing much or any money and that safety net is now gone. Had I known this before finalizing there's a good chance I wouldn't have done it and would have just bought a used Jap bike. Now to hope I don't feel the need to cash it out.
When I was there to pick mine up there was a couple looking at possibly getting one and they were told it would be about 4 weeks from when they put down a deposit so they're not selling to walk-ins, only to those with deposits. I paid on or about Dec. 3 and it was past the supposed 'first 50 unit cut-off' but the guy said they were extending it a bit because it was getting so much momentum. As far all I know the previous bike had gone to full retail after the initial 'early bird specials' and I expected the TT to do the same but it hasn't. |

CSC has been a very good company so far and I have faith they're treating us fairly. I'm sure they're upset that it's taken longer than anticipated. After all, I'm sure they have a ton of $$$ laid out on all of these bikes they'd love to collect and put in the bank. Hell, if it doesn't finally stop raining here, I'm going to blow a gasket anyway. I have a new RX3 in the garage and I'm still inside in front of the wood stove staring out the damn window. If the TT arrived today, it wouldn't do me any good anyway.
