Greeetings From KC!
#6
If you ordered from KC Peter can give you the VIN and container number.
I think he gets the VIN when it goes to production and he can see the container number after production.

Here's a copy of a post I made earlier on how to track the bike.

Order and Shipping Details
Ordered two 2022 R1250RS bikes mid Aug 2021
Built in Berlin Aug 24th and 25th
Dealer emailed me the VIN numbers and the shipping container number.
Bikes arrived at the Bremerhaven Germany docks Sep 7th
I think I got the name of the ship by googling the container number.
The container shipping company was https://www.hamburgsud-line.com/line...ces/index.html
I used a Marine Traffic site to follow the ship and see it docked. https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/hom...0.6/zoom:3
Loaded on ship (MSC Marina) Sep 17
Ship departed Germany Sep 18th
I was able to follow the ship as it left Germany and through the English Channel. I could see the ship location and speed as long it was within 60 miles of land.
When I thought it should be close to the US I paid a one time fee of $0.99 to track the ship by satellite. I saw it was close to Canada and a couple days later I could see it again near Cape Cod on the Marine Traffic site.
The ship arrived at the New York dock without any delays off shore on Sep 28. On the Marine Traffic site I could see the ship was at a dock.
Unloaded from ship Sep 29th
The container tracking site had no new info for a few days
Oct 4 a local trucking company picked up the container and I could now see it on the DHL site https://dhli.dhl.com/dhli-client/publicTracking?1
On the DHL site I select Customer Ref Number and entered the last 7 digits of the VIN (Use Caps)
Same day, Oct 4 the container arrived at the distribution center, Easton, Pa.
The container was unloaded and on Oct 5 our bikes are on a truck headed to Kansas City.
ETA for arriving in KC is Monday Oct 11th.
Tracking info showed the bikes were flown to KC.
Looks like seven weeks from production to delivery at the dealer.
I’ll update this when they arrives at Engle Motors.

The bikes arrived at the shop on Oct 12. We stopped at the shop that day on our way to Arkansas and saw the bikes unloaded.
We'll ride to KC today and do the trade tomorrow.
