Close!! I cancelled my bird in the hand and went back on my waiting list for the competition! Go big or go home. Decided I want the competition or nothing. So 2 in the bush! Took the risk. Might end up with nothing! But willing to take the risk!!
Bad decision. Each dealer got all the bikes they will get based on how many sk1s they sold so its not like they will keep them coming and you'll see more than that dealer was allotted.
Fbto,
Trust me, from the minute you said you booked both the models, I knew this was going to happen. All us S1K guys are like minded in this respect - lol!!
OP. I think its just a matter of time on when u can get it. As least this is what my dealer told me that production time frame are til 2014.
I worked roughly the cost of turning my base model into comp package (or close to it),
Wheel painted $500
All carbon $2500 (for this price u can get full carbon right? So it should be way less than 2500)
Levers $500
Rearset $800
Stickers $200?
Total: 4500 exactly what dealer charge for comp pack....
And i still get to keep all original parts for sale or my own use in case i go down.
Hope my math works out good

Just did some looking around, just the bottom piece, which is a special carbon piece for the hp4, it's not the same as a HP lower fairing, the hp4's is a lot longer, well anyway it's over $2500 alone.
So there is close to $5k just in carbon on the comp hp4.
- vins are diff. Mine is a comp. I saw yours posted up in a thread when u were first taking the standard. I don't have my bike yet, but do have the vin and mine had a "C" where yours had a diff letter.. I forget what yours was.. maybe s or somethin else, but a remember noticing the -c in mine.
So no fooling savy dealers by trying to make a standard a comp by adding parts.
In the USA, the comp only gets the engraving on the trees, and with only 150 comps in US, they will hold value greater.
I also can tell you vins will be different in to, dealers are not going to be fooled by making a standard a comp, this is a very exclusive bike, they will make sure you can tell them apart.
Just like on the ducati's, you can vin check a standard model vs a S or a tricolor, or like old cars when you de-code the vin for ss packages or others.
