Is the larger battery increasing demand that much?

Very much so. The other factor they're discussing is the state of logistics in the modern world. It's ugly.

What is the cause?

I've been E-mailing Laurence at Energica about once a month since I ordered my bike.  I'm guessing that with the port backup on the west coast they don't have any exact schedules but if what andyman says is correct, it sounds like it's getting close.  From what I was told they need to go through the Energica facility in South San Francisco where any accessories are fitted and then they are shipped out to the dealers.  In my case it will be Pro Italia in Glendale, CA. 

I was hoping to ride the bike home but right now I have 6" of snow at my house and icy streets.  Such are vagaries of living in the California mountains.  Last week the weather was cold (by our standards  but sunny and I did a 175 mile loop ride for breakfast with some riding buddies.  I'll just have to wait and see what the weather is like when the bike finally comes in.

The info from Andyman is very promising. Hopefully my dealer (Yamaha Suzuki Motor Sport up in Portland OR) gets an update soon. I was hoping to ride back from Portland to Seattle but may end up renting a uhaul and bringing it back that way, cold and wet up here now. Not sure I want my first ride in 18 years to be on I5 in those conditions.
My biggest issue is just the general lack of communication from Energica and the dealer. Even if the update is we have no update, it has been stony silence more often than not.   

Keeping fingers crossed now though, maybe it will be here just in time for the holidays. :-)

Given the state of the ports on the west coast I would think it would make more sense to ship bikes to Wilmington on the east coast and work everything through the Morrisville facility.

The Port of Oakland (only a few miles from SSF) says that they are wide open with no shipping or off-loading delays. But maybe the container with the Energica bike shipment is on a cargo ship that docked at LA, like the majority of the container ships seem to be doing this year.

[Bruce Berger]

I received an E-mail from Laurence at Energica late yesterday saying that the container ship with my bike is moored in Long Beach.  It shows up on marine traffic.com.  Given the congestion at the port, trucker shortage, and other logistics steps that need to take place, I expect it will be some time yet before the bike will be delivered. 

Perhaps some bikes from that batch will start showing up at dealers if they are not all pre-sold.

People in the Bay Area who don't want to wait can get a very well-optioned EMCE Ribelle right now for an insanely low price. I almost kicked myself for buying my SS9- before this one came onto the market a week later, but $18k just wasn't a financial commitment I would have been in a position to pull the trigger on, no matter how good of a deal.

Wow that is indeed a hell of a deal. Bike is loaded.

Wanted to say thanks. Picked it up because of this thread, wouldn't have seen it otherwise.

Nice, congrats! You know, the best way to say thanks is to let me take it for a spin.
