Official Release Date for the Empluse?

[Lastb0isct]

I all, I have reserved my Empulse and am very excited for its release.  I am tight on money, but want to know what you speculate the release time to be, the deals they might have (i remember the enertia had a 0% APR from Best Buy), financing options and all that.  Obviously this is purely speculative but I think it would be a cool subject to speculate on since we're all going to be purchasing it at one point in time.

Welcome to the forum.

I would speculate by the end of July 2011 based on what I have read. I am financing at 0% interest through Best Buy (HSBC) and I suspect they would offer it up again for the Empulse.

Thanks!

Yeah, i assumed that it would be a Mid-Summer release, judging by all the news releases.  I am hoping they offer that 0%, but did you have to put a down payment on it?  Sorry for asking all these questions that are probably answered easily...i'm a n00b

I did not not need to put a down payment on it, but I was kind of pushy. Feel free to ask questions. It would have been great for me to get information directly from Brammo owners before I bought one. I spent a ton of time watching online videos and reading online as much as I could about Brammo before this forum existed.

The exact calculated mid-2011 day is July 2nd; not that I am looking forward to the official release date or anything.

Wow... that's some impressive OCD, Phantom.

Yea, that was good, but I'm surprised you left out the time of day!

I'm getting so impatient. I want it now!

The Julian calendar has 365.25 days in it, so:

Of course, we *know* 2011 is not a leap year, so...

Still, I wouldn't mind if Brammo took those extra three hours to make the bike _extra_ good!  ;-)
