Nope.Has anyone had their preorder bike delivered through a dealership in the US?

I agree.That unacceptable lead time
Not gunna lie - this pisses me off as a day 1 order.FWIW, 2 in stock in Peoria IL "stark" in Inventory World of Powersports Inc.
To be honest, I think this is what most of us are so bent out of shape about. There’s two at a local dealer here sitting on the showroom that won’t sell. The dealer is asking all kinds of fees and mark ups. Not necessarily hating on the dealer although the mark ups and garbage dealers in general, do I disagree with. My problem is that stark has completely blown this up and it’s still shipping inventory bikes out to dealerships while all of our “grandfathered in price“ orders are being left outstanding.FWIW, 2 in stock in Peoria IL https://www.worldofpowersports.com/search/inventory/query/stark

When did you pay for yours? Are you going through a dealer? I see that you are only 30 minutes north of me. We should ride sometime when our Starks come in!I would buy one right now from a dealer with available inventory. However, I already paid in full and keep being told its on the way. I doubt that, they are enjoying my paid in full loan
This is so tone deaf. HahahH. Dillisional.Gotta love this bullshit instagram post from Stark.....

Massive achievements inside and outside the factory for the Stark Team in 2023 ⚡️ Thank you to everyone for the relentless support & trust. First and foremost our customers, partners, athletes, everyone inside the factory and all supporters
I ordered pretty dang early (jan 8, 2022....3 delays so far, crappy communications and no bike in sight...I feel so appreciated for my ".....support and trust"! Actually the trust is gone and I don't think Stark gives a shit!
New email today from Stark since I told them I am ready to pay:I forgot to mention above, that Stark also told me that they can now deliver to Ohio
>In Ohio we can deliver the bikes already, and as soon as you are ready to pay we will allocate the order to a dealer.
Follow up; I talked to the WV dealer AOMC, and the guy knew a lot more about it than I expected. He said he has a list of pre-orders that were assigned to them, and they expect to be calling the folks on the list the week of Jan 15. So I emailed Stark and asked them to assign my order to them. Hopefully the rest will go smooth and take 8 weeks or less...New email today from Stark since I told them I am ready to pay:
>Really sorry for the mistake, after checking Ohio we are still waiting for the license there.
>As our team is based in Spain we made an error when checking the State.
>At the moment we can offer these States that are the closest available: Kentucky, West Virginia Or Michigan
>Again sorry for the mistake and let us know if you still want to change or if you prefer to wait until we can deliver in your State.
So I guess I will call the WV dealer tomorrow and see if I want to go with them...

Stark has significantly ramped up production in the last few months. There was a video released recently talking about it, I forget how many bikes a day they are currently producing and that number is supposed to be increasing.I just saw if you ordered a bike today it's supposed to be here by April? What happened to being a year or more out on new orders?
Like many of you I put my order in December 18th 2 years ago and 2 weeks ago finally got an e mail saying I'd be contacted by my dealer shortly for payment. Currently estimated date is March 16th.
I kinda figured that was the case but was shocked to see the time line cut down that much!Stark has significantly ramped up production in the last few months.

I also suspect they have been getting a fair amount of order cancellations in the US with the weight of the bike increasing, confusion about when the bikes are going to actually be delivered, and more recently all the issues with bikes not being able to be delivered direct to customers in some US states.
