I'd almost prefer not to see a 16 model. So late in the game getting to market would only hurt the dealers with inventory. I hope they take the time to put out a well thought out 17and have it here in the states for early fall. Get part inventories where they need to be (although I never experienced not being able to get a part through this whole ordeal) this will build current customer/dealer confidence.
In my opinion just putting a bike out there to get a bike out there would not be a good idea.
