got an email response this morning from EBR:
Robin,
Thank you for your interest, and for that of your friends in your local Buell club.
Although we have started production last week, the initial dealer network for the new EBR motorcycles is not yet fully established. Since the company is new, it is necessary that we get dealer agreement paperwork completed with each new dealer, as well as registering as a manufacturer in each state. This takes varying amounts of time depending on each state’s regulations, and on the workload at the government agencies. We are very close in many states, but can’t legally announce dealers until all paperwork is signed.
The response from riders to the launch of the new EBR is just amazing. The EBR team are working hard to quickly establish dealership representation around the country, and to get these great motorcycles into enthusiasts’ hands! We will keep you updated on progress, and definitely let you know as soon as we have a dealer in your area. Trade-in on your Yamaha will need to be negotiated with the dealer.
Sincerely,
EBR Motorcycles Customer Support
