Default How long does it take to ship a bike from the manufacturing plant?

My new scooter that I ordered 3 weeks ago, is supposed to ship out this Friday October 14. When can I expect it to be at the dealership?

good question for the dealer, especially since he knows how far he is from York*, and what his set up time is.

It will depend on how far your dealer is from the factory and what the driver's delivery schedule is. I think that it took almost a week for my Ultra Limited to make it from York to Winchester Virginia, which is about a two hour ride.

you've left out some vital information. where is dealership located that you bought the new bike from?

the dealership should have it either early or late the week of the 17th depending on where they're located in relationship to the plant.

It took me nearly 60 days from date of order to date of delivery. The shop I used was about an hour from York. I think it also depends on what bike, with what specs and where that falls in the scheme of things as they push out certain products from the factory based on their plan and not yours or mine.

It took two weeks for the dealer to get mine after it was built. I got mine delivered to Conway Arkansas. It came from PA.
